About the class:
The AI-powered business is a five-week, hands-on program where high school students use AI tools to take a business idea from first spark to pitch. Students learn to use AI as a research partner, creative collaborator, and productivity boost while keeping the thinking, decisions, and ownership their own. Students leave with a validated business concept, a working prototype or mockup, and a pitch they delivered themselves.
Students will need access to a computer - their own, or Golisano Institute can provide one for the duration of the course.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are students expected to follow Golisano Institute’s dress code?
Students who attend Master Classes at the Buffalo or Rochester campus centers should follow Golisano Institute’s requirement for professional business attire. Students participating in school groups that attend Foundations in Business are not expected to wear clothing beyond what they already wear during the school day.

Does completing the Academy’s programs count towards dual enrollment?
No. Neither Foundations in Business or the Master Classes are credit-bearing, and so cannot contribute towards a dual-enrollment path of study.
