These High Schoolers Built AI Tools in 5 Weeks — Here's What They Made | AI-CCORE News

This summer, AI-CCORE which is the University of Nebraska at Omaha's Artificial Intelligence Center for Collaborative Outreach, Research and Education gave high school students something rare: five weeks to tackle real problems with real tools. Through its 2026 AI+X Next-Gen AI camp, students learned the fundamentals of AI, formed teams, and built working prototypes, capping it off with a demo day in front of judges, mentors, and families on the UNO campus on July 10.

High schoolers take in a fellow team's presentation during demo day.

The results speak for themselves. Over five weeks, teams built projects ranging from a used-car marketplace app aimed at making pricing more transparent for buyers, a personalized coaching tool that gives aspiring artists feedback to help them build confidence, and a student planner and clubs organizer designed to cut down on stress and disorganization among others.

Programs like this don't just teach AI concepts, they show students what they're capable of building when given the space to try.

AI-CCORE's Dr. Mahadevan Subramaniam addresses students, mentors, and families.

A huge thank-you to the entrepreneurs, investors, and community leaders who spoke during the bootcamp and judged demo day, and congratulations to Dr. Mahadevan Subramaniam and the AI-CCORE team, along with the University of Nebraska at Omaha's College of Information Science & Technology, for another strong cohort. Most of all, congratulations to the students.

We're excited to see where they take it next.
