AI & Machine Learning Through Aviation, Flight Simulation, and Real-World Applications: for High School Students

Register 
What to Expect

This introductory course gives high school students a hands-on, real-world introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning — using aviation, flight simulation, and real engineering problems as the learning platform.

Instead of abstract theory, students will explore:

  • How autopilot systems use algorithms

  • How AI predicts aircraft performance

  • How data is used to improve pilot decision-making

  • How machine learning models are trained and evaluated

  • How AI is shaping the future of aerospace

This is not a coding bootcamp.
It is a conceptual and applied foundation course designed to build real understanding.

Who This Program Is For

High school students (Grades 9–12)

  • Students interested in aviation, aerospace, engineering, or computer science

  • IB / AP / STEM-track students

  • Students preparing for competitive college majors

  • Curious learners who want to understand how AI actually works

No prior programming experience required.

❋ Intentional Structure

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
