The camp offers a hands-on, project-based approach where students code and build their own AI models from scratch, culminating in an independent research project and presentation.
Students at Club SciKidz West Chicago's Hands-On Data Science and AI Summer Camp will engage in project-based learning to explore the exciting fields of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. The curriculum focuses on practical application, allowing campers to code and build their own AI models from the ground up. Key activities include delving into Natural Language Processing (NLP), performing data analysis and visualization, and experimenting with face and voice recognition technologies. The camp emphasizes core AI skills over generative AI hype, preparing students to become creators and innovators. Campers will also undertake an independent research project on a topic of their choosing, culminating in an end-of-week presentation to showcase their newly acquired skills.
A typical day includes general check-in, an all-camp science demonstration, multiple S.T.E.A.M rotations, snack breaks, lunch and recess, and an outdoor component with team and skill-building activities.
This camp is ideal for high school and upper middle school students (ages 13-15) who are eager to move beyond simply using technology to actively creating with it, and who have a genuine interest in how things work and how science applies in the real world.
