A six-week residential program for high school students who love asking "why?" and "what if?" Dive into AI and mathematics through inquiry, hands-on research, and a community of curious colleagues.
We believe the best learning happens when curiosity leads the way. At AIMS, you won't learn by mindless memorization—you'll investigate, build, and discover for yourself. Every concept starts with a question that matters.
Our curriculum is designed for students who want more than surface-level understanding. You'll own your learning journey, guided by mentors who are passionate about helping you grow.
Every concept starts with a question. You'll learn by investigating and exploring new perspectives.
From neural networks to proofs, you'll construct understanding through hands-on exploration.
Join a community that challenges your thinking and grows alongside you.
From foundations to frontiers—each phase builds on the last as you develop mastery and explore research questions.
Dive into the mathematical language of AI and the structure of mathematics. From Python basics to your first models, from arithmetic to axioms—building a shared foundation.
Choose your path. AI track: regression to neural networks. Math track: number theory, algebraic geometry, group theory. Faculty help you make the material your own.
The final stretch is yours. Pursue independent research or dive into advanced topics like LLMs, elliptic curves, or Lie groups. Present your work in our student research series.
Live, learn, and grow with a community of curious colleagues.
Work closely with counselors who support your learning and help you approach challenges.
Live in an immersive community of fellow scholars. Make friendships that can last a lifetime.
Hear from researchers and innovators at the frontiers of AI and mathematics.
