Attendance Policy

Participants must be fully involved in the program and should be remotely present for all program classes and activities. Participants are required to attend their course and synchronous problem solving sessions at the specified daily class time with their microphone and camera on.

Participants should not have any commitments that directly conflict with required program activities. All activities are designed to provide participants with a well-rounded experience both inside and outside of the classroom. All courses require asynchronous assignments to prepare for the next day’s class.

Engaging Student Life

Stanford AI4ALL provides enriching academic experiences and engaging learning communities. Our online program includes a robust student life component that complements participants’ academic coursework, with weekly opportunities to attend higher education workshops, guest speaker panels, and social events.

Global Community

Study and discuss academic topics alongside peers from around the world who share your interests, curiosity, and drive to learn

Live Online Classes

Live online class meetings, faculty lectures, research project group meetings with Graduate Student Mentors, and industry demos allow students to engage in AI through real-time discussions.

Daily Expectations

Participants have full daily schedules which incorporate the academic and social aspects of the program. Class time and student life activities are scheduled in the Pacific Time zone.

Participants can expect to have roughly two-three hours of academic work outside of the program per weekday, in addition to the daily live class periods. As you prepare for your final presentation, you may have up to four hours of work per day at the end of the program.
