This STEM.org accredited program provides an engaging introduction to AI and machine learning, allowing campers to build and host their own chatbot projects.
In the Club SciKidz Austin - Junior AI and Chat Bots camp, young campers delve into the exciting world of artificial intelligence and chatbot development. Using visual programming tools like Scratch, students learn to create their own personalized chatbots. The curriculum introduces basic algorithms, which are simple sets of instructions that computers follow, enabling campers to teach their chatbots to hold conversations, answer questions, and even tell jokes. The program emphasizes hands-on activities, allowing children to build their own intelligent projects and gain an early understanding of AI, machine learning, and how computers "think."
Campers will explore foundational machine learning concepts, including collecting data, training models, and testing, to see how computers recognize patterns in images, text, and sounds. They will develop chatbot logic and create decision trees, fostering problem-solving and creativity. The camp also touches upon the ethics of AI, discussing algorithmic bias and the importance of responsible AI use. This program is designed to bridge basic coding with advanced data science, providing future-ready skills in a fun and engaging environment.
A typical day includes morning greetings and a science demonstration, followed by three science rotations before lunch and recess. The afternoon features a storybook challenge, another science rotation, and outdoor team-building activities, concluding with clean-up and goodbyes.
This camp is ideal for kids ages 9-11 who are curious about AI and technology, enjoy coding or logical thinking, and want to build their own interactive projects.
