Introduction
New to building with AI? You don’t need advanced experience to compete. This page collects free tools, ideas, and ways to get help so your team can go from idea to working prototype. Workshop and mentor session details will be posted in the Updates tab.
Tools and Technologies
- Google Colab: free Python notebooks in your browser, nothing to install.
- Hugging Face: free open-source AI models and datasets. Spaces lets you host a demo.
- Teachable Machine: train an image, sound, or pose model without writing code.
- Gradio and Streamlit: turn Python code into a simple web app for your demo.
- GitHub Student Developer Pack: free developer tools for verified students.
Many AI services have minimum age rules. Check each tool’s terms before you sign up, and ask a parent or guardian if needed.
