The Qualcomm Institute AI Entrepreneurship Program at UC San Diego is a four-week summer program designed for high school students interested in applying AI to real-world problems and exploring AI-based entrepreneurship. Participants learn fundamental AI concepts and gain hands-on experience with modern AI development tools and platforms, including the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) AI ecosystem, Claude Code, GitHub, and Render. Students work in teams to identify problems, design solutions, and develop, deploy, and demonstrate functional AI service platforms. The program culminates in the QI AI Entrepreneurship Hackathon Showcase, where teams present their AI service platforms, technical implementations, and potential real-world applications. Following the program, participants are required to either participate in a global AI-related entrepreneurship hackathon or pursue the development of a startup based on their project. Students gain experience in AI technologies, big data analysis, teamwork, project development, problem-solving, communication, and presentation.
Participants engage in daily courses on fundamental AI algorithms, big data analysis, research papers, and AI analytics platforms, working collaboratively on team-based projects to develop tangible AI service platforms.
This program is ideal for high school students who are interested in applying AI to real-world problems and exploring opportunities in AI-based entrepreneurship.
