AI Ignite Club — High School Kick-Off Session
Find your spark. Start an AI club. Build something that lasts.
AI Ignite Initiative is a long-term youth initiative formally launched by SiliconRoshi AI Academy (硅谷Roshi AI 学院). We believe every student already has a spark. Our role is to help them ignite it, take an Ignite Kit back to school, and start a student-led AI club with structured support along the way. September 26 is the kick-off session for high school students.
Sept 26 kickoff · Ignite Kit · monthly support · in-person visits Nov / Feb / May
We're available to the club every month, by live session, email, or Zoom, and we'll come visit in November, February, and May, depending on what the club wants.
$199 for the full school year

AI Ignite Initiative · AI 点火
由 SiliconRoshi AI Academy 正式发起的青少年长期计划。每个孩子身上本来就有一团火，我们要做的是帮助他们点着它。9 月 26 日是高中生启动场，也是这段旅程的起点。
- 参加 Ignite Session：探索 AI，找到自己想做的事。
- 带走 Ignite Kit：社团启动指南、网站起步资料和招募同学的模板。
- 回学校组建 AI 社团：结合学校审批与 club rush 时间，邀请同学一起开始。
- 持续获得支持：一个学年内提供物料与活动、季度回访、demo 展示及与硅谷创业者交流的机会。
- 积累自己的故事：用持续的项目、组织与贡献，留下真实的成长记录。
一次报名费对应启动场、Ignite Kit，以及覆盖整个学年的支持：我们每月都在线（直播、邮件或 Zoom），并在 11 月、2 月、5 月三次到校，具体按社团的需要安排。更深入的指导另行商议；不包含无限期一对一陪跑，也不保证学校社团审批、演讲席位或大学录取。
The afternoon
- 1:00–2:00 Find your spark: explore AI and choose a problem you care about
- 2:00–3:30 Hands-on building: try an AI project with mentor guidance
- 3:30–4:30 Share your work and explore the Ignite Kit for your school AI club
- 4:30–5:00 Plan your first club meeting, meet peers, and discuss next steps
One session starts the journey. What students build next is their own.
- Discover how AI can amplify your own interests through hands-on exploration.
- Leave with an Ignite Kit to help you launch an AI club at your school.
- Practice bringing classmates together, making things, and sharing what you learn.
- Build a sustained record of initiative and contribution over time. No coding experience required.
Your Ignite Kit and the path ahead
The Ignite Kit — 4 signature items
- A guide to starting your school AI club The single walk-through that ties every other kit item together — how to plan the club, get school approval, and run the first meeting. Start here on day one.
- Build your own website free with AI Use the AI tools we teach to spin up a real club website in an afternoon — no code, no hosting fees. Your club gets an online home to showcase projects, run recruitment, and prove it exists to school administrators.
- Build an AI agent with WukongDojo.AI Every club gets a sandbox on WukongDojo.AI, our Academy-built agent platform, so students ship their first working AI agent within the first meeting or two — actually building on the same tools the Academy teaches.
- Principal & counselor pitch letter template A fill-in-the-blank letter that explains what an AI club is, why the school benefits, and how it will be run safely. Nobody in AI education ships this today — we made it the first thing a student can hand a school administrator.

Structured support after the session
- Monthly support across the year Each month we stay available to the club, whether that's a live session invite, an email, or a Zoom call, whenever they want to connect. We'll also visit in person three times, in November, February, and May, coordinated directly with the club.
- Check-ins and opportunities to share We're available every month, through live session invites, email, or Zoom, and we'll visit the club in person in November, February, and May. There are also chances to share work with Silicon Valley founders through speaker events. Dates and who gets a speaking slot will be announced later, and we can't promise everyone a slot.
A story you build over time
- Your own record of leadership and contribution Starting in ninth grade can create room for roughly three years of projects, teamwork, and reflection before college applications. The story comes from what you actually do; admission outcomes are not guaranteed.
Who's running this

FAQ — for parents
Does my student need coding experience?
No. The tools are modern AI builders; mentors guide every step. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.
Is the event supervised?
Yes — instructors and mentors are with the students for the full afternoon, from drop-off to pickup.
Will this help with college applications?
The aim is sustained student-led work: founding a club, organizing classmates, building projects, and reflecting on progress. That can become an authentic application story over time, with no guarantee of admission.
What does the one-time registration fee cover?
The September 26 kickoff and Ignite Kit are the starting point. After that, we stay available to the club every month, through live sessions, email, or Zoom, and we'll visit in person in November, February, and May, based on what works for the club.
Is this unlimited mentoring or Academy membership?
No. AI Ignite is a distinct youth initiative. Additional coaching or deeper involvement is arranged separately. Students lead their own clubs; the Academy provides the defined support package, not indefinite one-to-one mentoring or guaranteed school approval.
FAQ — for students
Can I work solo or do I need a team?
Either. Solo builders are welcome; we can also match you into a team of 2-3 on the day.
What do I bring?
A laptop, a charger, and one idea you care about (optional — we have starter ideas too).
What if I get stuck?
That is what the mentors are for. Getting unstuck fast is half of what you will learn.
Do I need to have an AI club already?
No. Bring your curiosity. After the session, use the Ignite Kit to recruit classmates and work with your school on its club approval process and club-rush calendar.
Student-led, Academy-supported
We help students get started and provide a defined support package. Students choose their direction, run their clubs, and keep building. More intensive coaching can be discussed separately.
Academy membership is a separate offering from AI Ignite registration.
