The OC Student AI Network connects middle and high schoolers from across Orange County who are actually doing things with AI — building tools, automating their lives, making art, solving real problems. You come as you are, share what you're working on, and learn from people your age who are just as curious.
You should get way more out of this than we do. Access, ideas, people, and a place where your work is taken seriously.
A place to talk to each other
You're in this district, someone else is in that one — here's what you're working on, here's what you're stuck on. That connection is the whole point.
Learn from real peers
Not a lecture. Students demo what they've actually built in five minutes, and you walk away with ideas you can steal and adapt.
Access to people
Guest speakers, mentors, and alumni who've been where you are. The connections outside your school are the ones that pay off in a year or two.
Your voice, elevated
Chances to represent student perspective in your district and across the county. You're a leader here, and people will treat you like one.
Open + connect
Quick hellos, who's here, what's new across districts.
Student shares
A few students give a five-minute look at what they're building, then take questions. Breakouts keep it small and real.
Guest or challenge
Sometimes a speaker worth meeting, sometimes a short hands-on build we tackle together.
Wrap + what's next
Opportunities on the horizon. Say yes to what fits — there's always more coming.
Want in?
If you're building something with AI — or you want to be — fill out the form. You don't have to be an expert. You have to be curious.
Apply to join01 — What you built
One sentence. "I made an AI assistant that texts me when I need to leave for practice."
02 — Why
The problem or itch behind it. Real beats impressive.
03 — Show it
Quick demo, screen share, screenshots. Rough is fine.
04 — Ask
Open the floor. "What would you do next?" Questions are how the room helps you.
Share, don't perform
Half-finished and honest beats polished and vague.
Questions, not critiques
We ask to understand and help — curious, never tearing down.
Steal generously, credit freely
See a good idea? Take it, build on it, say where it came from.
Saying no is fine
There will always be another opportunity. Protect your time.
Everyone's a leader here
You represent your school and district. Show up as someone others learn from.
Come share what you're working on. Bring your questions. The rest takes care of itself.
Take the first step
One short form. We'll get back to you with the details for the first meeting on August 19.
