AI + Astronomy
Astronomy and AI Research Projects for High School Students
Artificial intelligence is transforming how we analyze data from telescopes and satellites, search for exoplanets, and understand the field of astronomy. In the AI Scholars program, high school students can work on a project at the intersection of AI + astronomy.
