Designing Projects for Social Good with Generative AI
Live Online Artificial Intelligence intensive for middle and high school students taught by instructors from Stanford, MIT, and Ivy League universities.
Curriculum Overview
This newly launched program invites middle and high school students to explore the latest generative AI tools and design an original project from scratch to address a social problem they care about. No programming or computer science background is required.
Students will learn to leverage vibe coding skills to make a real-world impact. Student-driven projects are designed to create measurable social impact across disciplines, such as healthcare and mental health, economics and financial inclusion, engineering, environmental sustainability, and education.
Students are guided step-by-step through powerful no-code and low-code AI platforms along with hands-on exposure to modern Large Language Models, AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and context engineering.
Students then move from idea to launch, using vibe coding skills, to define their project’s purpose, target users, and measurable impact. Students learn how to pitch their projects and position their work for competitions, research fairs, and college portfolios.

Program Outcomes
Practical AI and Vibe Coding Skills
Gain hands-on experience with no-code AI platforms, Large Language Models, AI agents, and multimodal systems, along with expertise in prompt design, rapid prototyping, and user experience design.
Student-Created AI Prototype
Design and launch a student-created generative AI prototype addressing a real-world, socially impactful problem. Students can work on projects across disciplines, such as healthcare, economics, sustainability, & more.
Pathways for Showcasing and Continuing Work
Learn to package your project for the outside world. Leave with a story to tell to science fair judges, admissions officers, & more about how the project connects to global challenges.
Sample Student Prototypes
AI Wellness Companion App
A chatbot that checks in with users daily about mood, sleep, and stress, and offers evidence-based self-care strategies.
AI Health Literacy Explainer App
An app that translates complex medical documents into understandable language to increase health literacy and improve patient advocacy.
Gen AI Impact
From chatbots that can reason and write to image and video tools that can generate realistic visuals, animations, and simulations, generative AI is redefining how people learn, work, and innovate across every field.
At Inspirit AI, we believe students shouldn’t just be passive users of these technologies. They should also be creators and problem-solvers who know how to design responsible, socially meaningful applications.
LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS: ChatGPT, Claude, and open-source LLMs power everything from tutoring apps to legal research to business strategy.
AGENTIC AI SYSTEMS: Self-directed AI agents can plan, reason, and complete multi-step tasks in research, healthcare, and personal productivity.
GEN AI TOOLS: Explore the latest Gen AI tools and build socially impactful projects using vibe coding.
