The camp provides an immersive university campus experience where students learn cutting-edge AI tech from expert mentors and build a portfolio of projects for future academic and career pursuits.
This iD Tech camp focuses on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, offering kids and teens a hands-on experience in a university setting. Participants will learn to build machine learning models using Python code and train models to identify and categorize images, objects, or handwriting. The curriculum incorporates professional datasets like TensorFlow and Kaggle, and students will gain an understanding of neural network fundamentals, including data aggregation. A key outcome is the development of a portfolio of AI and machine learning projects, suitable for college applications. The program also emphasizes responsible AI usage, ethics, and privacy through thoughtful discussions and projects, such as designing advanced detection systems or a Pictionary game where AI solves clues. Students will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills while exploring real-world applications of AI, from self-driving cars to home security systems.
A typical day includes morning announcements, icebreakers, and team-building activities, followed by course work in small groups with an experienced instructor. Lunch is eaten in the campus dining hall, and afternoons include more instruction, computer breaks with outdoor time or games, and continued work on course projects.
This camp is ideal for teens aged 13-17 who are interested in specializing in AI and machine learning, building a college-ready portfolio, and learning to use technology ethically and responsibly.
