The camp blends practical software development with critical thinking about social impact, empowering campers to use technology for good.
In Lavner Education's App Development & Artificial Intelligence for Good camp, campers aged 8-12 learn to build functional mobile applications and explore the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence to address real-world issues. The curriculum focuses on practical software development and critical thinking about social impact. Campers utilize block-based programming tools like MIT App Inventor for app creation, learning user interface design, logic, and debugging. They also delve into AI fundamentals, including machine learning and data, by training AI models with visual tools such as Google's Teachable Machine to recognize images, sounds, or poses. A core aspect of the week involves brainstorming and developing app concepts that promote positive change, such as applications for recycling, tracking environmental issues, or enhancing community safety. The program also emphasizes ethical technology, encouraging campers to evaluate AI models for potential biases and understand the responsibilities of creating powerful technology. Through this hands-on experience, campers gain an inventor's toolkit, progressing from initial ideas to interactive prototypes.
A typical day includes specialized camp activities, snack time, lunch with supervised recess for sports and socialization, and an optional break period.
This camp is ideal for forward-thinking innovators aged 8-12 who are ready to use technology to create positive social impact.
