Applied Computer Science 2: Thursdays

About the Class

AI Product Studio is the second semester of Applied Computer Science, our free, year-long high school computer science course. Students who completed Foundations of Software and AI arrive here knowing how the internet works, how software is built, and how to use AI tools to write and ship code. This semester, they put all of it to work.

The format shifts from concept-driven weekly builds to a studio environment where students spend most of their time designing, building, and improving software projects. Facilitators work alongside them to push projects further and help students develop the judgment that comes from actually finishing things.

The semester culminates in a Demo Day where students present original applications to peers, facilitators, and parents. It counts as 0.5 credits and completes the high school computer science credit for the year.
