Alpha AI Engineer

Stanford; MIT; UT Austin sophomores and freshman only. Alpha AI Engineering is a focused, high-performance learning and practical application experience for freshman and sophomores at Stanford, MIT, and UT Austin to apply frontier AI to transform learning. Created by Alpha School Co-Founder Joe Liemandt (one of the original Stanford software drop outs and billionaire), the program is built around a simple belief: the fastest way to mastery is through building something that matters. This summer, students will work on projects focused on innovating K–12 learning to improve instructional design, operations, and student outcomes. Participants will ship AI products with learning outcomes to real students that will be used in the 2026-2027 school year.
