Dive into the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence! This active camp combines hands-on projects, thought-provoking discussions, and cutting-edge technology to explore how AI is shaping our future. Campers will learn how AI systems like self-driving cars and image recognition work, experiment with generative AI to create original art and music and build their own AI-powered gadget using Google Teachable Machine and micro:bit.
Throughout the week, we’ll also tackle big questions about some of the ethical challenges AI presents, empowering students to think critically about technology. Whether your interest is in science, technology, art, or innovation, this camp will ignite your curiosity and creativity!
