Join the AI Scholars Program!
This program provides college students in computing, informatics, and data science with opportunities to learn about AI, engage in projects for teaching K12 students about AI, and develop their leadership skills in broadening participation of historically excluded groups in computing. STARS AI Scholars will coordinate with a faculty or staff advisor at their institution/organization to participate in a project that supports local efforts for broadening participation in AI, often through a student organization or even for course credit, and connect with our national STARS organization for resources through quarterly webinars and an annual in-person conference. STARS AI Scholars who complete the program requirements will be eligible for a stipend of up to $1000 once their leadership/outreach project has been completed. We strongly encourage STARS AI Scholars program applicants to be part of a STARS Chapter; if your academic institution or organization does not already have a STARS Chapter please have a faculty/staff member from your institution/organization apply for one here: https://form.jotform.com/222654691996169.
