THE INTENTIONAL AI LAB
Build a working
AI prototype
In one virtual morning
A live, hands-on virtual workshop for students who want real experience with data and AI -- not just a lecture about it. Up to 20 students, high school juniors and seniors through first year college, working directly with a former Harvard Admissions Officer, an MIT-trained data scientist, and two additional facilitators.
DATE: Sun, Aug 9, 2026 TIME: 9:00am–12:30pm ET FORMAT: Virtual
COHORT: Up to 20 students INAUGURAL FEE: $99
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
A real business case.
A real prototype.
The technical block of the day centers on one concrete case: your student gets a 100-row dataset of school lunch sales and has to decide, with real numbers, whether a school should serve pizza twice a week to increase revenue -- then pitch that recommendation as if presenting to a principal, superintendent, and school board. From there, they build a working prototype of their own using a live coding platform. This is applied data science and AI prototyping, not a walkthrough.
Applied Data Science
Work with a real dataset and make a real, defensible business recommendation from it.
Rapid AI Prototyping
Turn an idea into something functional using a live build platform, with direct guidance the whole way.
Small-Group Access
Up to 20 students, with expert facilitators live and engaged in the virtual workshop -- not a webinar.

WHY THIS FORMAT
Most AI programs for students teach speed -- faster prompts, faster output. This one is built around a single applied case a student can actually explain afterward: what the data showed, what they recommended, and why. That's a more useful skill than knowing which button to click.
