"Cornell Tech will introduce its first Summer Innovation Intensives program in July 2026, offering high school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates an immersive experience in artificial intelligence, ethics, and entrepreneurship. The three-week program, scheduled for July 13-30 on Cornell Tech's Roosevelt Island campus, is designed to give students a head start on college-level learning while tackling real-world challenges through technology. Participants will earn college credit and work alongside Cornell Tech faculty and mentors to design AI-powered solutions with an emphasis on creativity and responsible innovation."
"The program is designed to be accessible - no prior coding experience is required - making it ideal for curious minds eager to explore how emerging technologies influence society. For their morning studies, students will choose from three academic tracks: "Engineering Operations," which explores algorithms behind machine learning and AI systems; "Interacting with AI," which examines how AI influences human behavior and communication; and "Ethical Vibe Coding," which focuses on building applications with AI that prioritize human values and fairness."
