The AI Design Studio is a high school AI summer program at Texas State University designed for students interested in artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, and future careers in computer science. 

This pre-college Summer Intensive introduces foundational AI concepts through creativity, design thinking, and responsible innovation. No prior coding experience is required. Students build an original AI-powered artifact while documenting their design decisions and ethical considerations. 

Participants gain structured faculty feedback, hands-on project development experience, and a portfolio-ready outcome within a university learning environment.
