Incoming and current Stanford students: join us the weekend of new student orientation for a two-day, in-person boot camp consisting of interactive workshops, guided tinkering, and a collaborative hackathon.

This student-only event will center around the use of generative AI for learning, research, teaching, and creative practice.

Designed by and for students, this boot camp will provide structured, peer-led exploration that grounds AI in critical literacies, responsible use, and practical application.

We hope that you’ll walk away with both practical skills and a sense of belonging in the AI Tinkery community. See you there!
