# AI & Health Summer High School Bootcamp The MIT Jameel Clinic - MIT's center for AI and health - runs a one-week summer bootcamp introducing high school students to artificial intelligence in medicine. Held in person on MIT's campus in Cambridge (July 13-17 in 2026), the program packs 3-4 hours of daily instruction plus group project work into an intensive Monday-Friday week. ## What You'll Do - Learn machine learning fundamentals and Python programming from Jameel Clinic instructors - Study clinical AI and AI-driven drug discovery - the clinic's core research areas - Take occasional trips to neighboring organizations in the Kendall Square biotech ecosystem - Complete a team project culminating in a final presentation, earning a signed certificate ## Who Should Apply Incoming high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors interested in the intersection of computing and medicine. Tuition is $2,000, and scholarships covering the full cost of tuition are available - the program introduced fees only recently and remains committed to access. For 2026, early action applications were due January 11 and regular applications March 1; the next cycle's dates are typically posted in the fall. ## Outcomes Students finish with hands-on exposure to clinical AI and drug discovery workflows rarely accessible before college, a completed group project presented to MIT researchers, a certificate signed by the Jameel Clinic, and a grounded sense of whether AI-in-medicine is the career direction they want to pursue.
