13-18 Years
Students kick off with workshops, mentor talks, and team formation. They explore AI themes, frame problem statements, and set up their tools and workflows.
Through hands-on sprints, teams design backends, develop models, and create user-friendly frontends. They iterate, test, and refine their projects with continuous mentor feedback.
On the final day, teams showcase their solutions through demos and pitches, receive judge feedback, and network with peers and mentors while celebrating their achievements.

MA in International Policy, School of Humanities and Sciences
Chanwool (Chan) Leem, from Bucheon, South Korea, is pursuing the Ford Dorsey master's in international policy at Stanford University. He graduated from Seoul National University with bachelor's degrees in Hispanic language and literature, and political science and international relations. Chan's research interests include developing effective international rules for cyberspace that meaningfully reflect the viewpoints and interests of nongovernmental stakeholders.
Before Stanford, Chan served as a diplomat. He represented South Korea at U.N. cybersecurity negotiations, spearheaded the country's first-ever participation at a NATO summit, negotiated and implemented military agreements with the United States Forces Korea, and worked on South Korea's diplomatic rapprochement toward Cuba. For military duty, he served in the 8th U.S. Army as a KATUSA sergeant (E-5) and received an Army Commendation Medal. He received the Foreign Ministry's Outstanding Policy Report Award in 2021 and was a Fulbright Scholarship candidate in 2022.
PhD in Management Science and Engineering
Andrew Couch, from Huntsville, Alabama, is pursuing a PhD in management science and engineering with a focus on decision and risk analysis at Stanford School of Engineering. At the University of Alabama in Huntsville, he earned both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in industrial and systems engineering. At 17, he earned a bachelor's degree in management from Thomas Edison State University.
Andrew aspires to advance the economic well-being of everyday individuals, small businesses, and rural communities through applied research in data-driven decision-making under uncertainty. With interests in data science, he has conducted engineering research that tackles barriers in STEM education, school safety, and nursing shortages throughout Alabama.
Through his service as an Engineering Research Fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, his research identifies novel pathways to technology industrialization for small enterprises lacking adequate technology access. Andrew is a widely published author of engineering research.
Computer Science PhD
Sang Truong is a Computer Science Ph.D. student at Stanford University and a researcher at the Stanford AI Lab, where he develops methods to evaluate and align AI systems with human values. His work combines tools from measurement theory, preference learning, and decision theory to ensure AI models are safe, reliable, and fair.
At Stanford, he has contributed to major research on language model evaluation, introducing adaptive testing frameworks like Item Response Theory to improve benchmarking efficiency and robustness. His research spans foundational ML theory and real-world applications, with active contributions to Stanford-led initiatives such as HELM and the Human-Centered AI community.
PhD candidate in Neurosciences at Stanford University
I am currently a PhD candidate in Neurosciences at Stanford University. I am a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow, a National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine Ford Foundation Predoctoral Scholar, an Institute of International Education (IIE) Quad Fellow, and a Stanford University Knight-Hennessy Scholar!
My research investigates the impact of neighborhood disadvantage on adolescent neurodevelopment and its downstream effects on substance use. Additionally, I examine how methodological practices in human neuroimaging impact the generalizability of neuroscience research.
Prior to starting at Stanford University, I worked as a post-baccalaureate computational research assistant at the Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (DZNE) in Berlin, Germany, followed by a research assistant position in neuroscience at Yale University.
