This program uniquely blends practical software development with critical thinking about social impact, empowering students to create mobile apps and AI solutions for positive change.
Students in this dynamic one-week camp will design, code, and test functional mobile applications using accessible block-based programming tools like MIT App Inventor. They will delve into AI fundamentals, exploring machine learning and data, and gain hands-on experience training AI models with visual tools such as Google's Teachable Machine. The core focus is on applying these skills to solve real-world problems, brainstorming and developing app concepts aimed at promoting positive social change, such as recycling or community safety. Participants will also learn to think like ethical technologists, evaluating AI models for potential biases and discussing the responsibilities of creating powerful technology. The camp emphasizes building functional projects, developing critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity, culminating in interactive prototypes and a Certificate of Excellence.
Regular camp hours are Monday-Friday, 9am to 3pm.
This camp is designed for forward-thinking innovators aged 8-12 who are ready to use technology to change the world and solve real-world problems.
