The camp combines the academic resources of the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools with expert-led programs, offering a unique university-affiliated learning environment.
Students delve into the core concepts of machine learning and artificial intelligence by actively building interactive games using Scratch. The curriculum is designed to provide hands-on experience in areas such as augmented reality, simulated learning environments, and the implementation of AI behaviors. Through practical projects like creating a Fruit Ninja-style game, developing chatbots, and designing AI-powered virtual pets, campers gain a foundational understanding of how AI functions. The program also connects these in-camp activities to real-world applications, demonstrating how AI is used in voice assistants, video game AI, and predictive search technologies.
Campers spend one hour daily in each class, engaging in hands-on activities to build interactive games and explore AI concepts.
This camp is ideal for elementary school students interested in understanding how artificial intelligence and machine learning work through creative game development.
