The program focuses on both building AI and understanding its limitations, providing a "where it fails" mindset that is highly valued in advanced studies.
The Research Ignited - AI FinTech Lab is a 4-week online program designed for high school students to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and financial markets. Students will learn to deploy real AI agents in financial markets, build an AI analyst crew, and develop their own trading bot. A key focus of the lab is to analyze why most trading bots fail, fostering a critical understanding of AI's limitations and responsible application. The program emphasizes hands-on projects, culminating in a working AI app or system that students can showcase for college applications. It also aims to instill a "where it fails" mindset, teaching not just how to build AI but also how to identify its potential shortcomings, a maturity valued by colleges and mentors. Upon completion, students earn a Level 2 certificate and are provided a clear pathway toward the AI Scholars Program and original research opportunities.
A typical day involves live, instructor-led sessions with expert AI instructors, focusing on interactive lectures, live coding walkthroughs, and guided hands-on projects where students complete missing code sections and develop custom solutions.
This program is best for high school students (grades 9-12) who have AI-agent basics and a passion for applying AI to real-world fields like finance.
