Inspirit AI partners with 100+ Leading K12 Schools Around the World
School Partner Case Studies
Our live, interactive education programs cater to students of all backgrounds and interests. Our interdisciplinary programs build AI literacy and inspire students to explore the intersection of AI and law, art, music, healthcare, and more—no CS experience necessary!
MCDS, named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, was uniquely positioned to collaborate with Inspirit AI’s subject matter experts to bring project-based, hands-on coding lessons to their students.
Inspirit partnered with the Pilgrim School in Los Angeles to create an in-school AI elective for middle school students.
In 2021, KLS partnered with Inspirit AI to build a custom, year-long course intended to be taught as a formal class for juniors and seniors looking to expand their coding abilities beyond the Advanced Placement program.
Inspirit AI recently partnered with the Hun School at Princeton to create multiple courses for middle school students.
Students from Bellarmine College Preparatory Collaborate on AI for Social Good Projects with Stanford Alumni
Inspirit AI's team recently partnered with Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose to offer students an interdisciplinary AI capstone experience during Fall 2023 to begin their journey in artificial intelligence. Bellarmine College Preparatory is a prestigious all-boys Catholic school located in San Jose, California. It offers a rigorous academic curriculum and a strong emphasis on character development and community service.
“Studying artificial intelligence is unlike anything else we have ever offered in the Middle School. By partnering with Inspirit AI and working directly with graduate students from Stanford and MIT, we are certain that our students will constantly be exposed to new and cutting-edge ideas. A course like this will surely equip our students to thrive in an ever-evolving world.”
— Ken Weinstein, Head of Middle School, The Hun School of Princeton
“We are so excited to partner with Inspirit AI this year... We love the balance on technical skills development along with the emphasis on ethics. The projects and lessons are engaging, and the instructors really understand how to work well with this age of students. We highly recommend this program!”
— Ryan Grady, Principal, Pilgrim School

Creating AI Lessons for K12 Teachers
Watch our recent Inspirit AI Teacher Workshop, led by Daniela Ganelin, Stanford PhD student and CS Educator, on how to create AI Lessons.
Upcoming AI for K12 Teachers Workshop
ChatGPT as Teacher’s Aide and Teaching Tool
Thursday, April 25, at 4:00pm Pacific Time
In this workshop, we’ll experiment with using GPT to speed up different aspects of teachers’ work. Using an open-source GPT4 equivalent (HuggingFace Assistants), you’ll create your own specialized AI assistant to draft emails, feedback, rubrics, or lesson plan ideas - whatever helps you in your daily work. We’ll also discuss issues of AI ethics, including how to guard against AI mistakes and how to guide students in responsible use of AI.
Daniela Ganelin is a computer science educator and education researcher based in San Francisco. In her Ph.D. program at Stanford University, her research focuses on quantifying diversity and access in high-school computer science courses. Previously, she taught math and artificial intelligence at an international school in Italy, and led the curriculum and instruction team at Inspirit AI. She holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science from MIT. In her free time, she loves exploring California's redwoods and tide pools.
Inspirit AI x Sacred Heart Greenwich
Inspirit AI partnered with Sacred Heart Greenwich, an independent, all-girls school in Greenwich, Connecticut, to deliver an hour-long online workshop for students and teachers.
