Student in Residence
Owning Your AI-Native Future
AI isn't just another tool on the horizon—it's already reshaping how work gets done, how problems get solved, and how opportunities get created. Yet most students graduate with only theoretical knowledge of these technologies, never having built anything real with them.
The Student-in-Residence program bridges that gap by providing hands-on experience in building production AI systems that real users depend on.
Whether you're applying to competitive universities, pursuing your first job, or considering launching your own venture, you'll have something few candidates possess: demonstrated capability in building AI-powered products. You'll join a network of young builders and gain relationships with innovators and practitioners that often prove as valuable as the technical skills themselves.
