Kids build real robots using professional-grade equipment and get to take home all the robotics kits and projects they create.
In the LearnToBot "Intro to AI & Computer Vision with Scratch" camp, kids aged 9-12 delve into the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and computer vision. Using the block-based coding platform Pictoblox, students learn to train computers to recognize images, gestures, and colors via a camera. They then apply this knowledge to control physical robots, understanding the difference between traditional coding rules and AI's pattern recognition. Activities include building interactive projects where AI affects the real world, such as a robot that wags its tail based on facial expressions or a robotic arm that sorts colors. The curriculum, designed by experienced engineers, focuses on hands-on learning, allowing children to build and debug their own take-home robots using professional-grade AI and robotics kits, including microcontrollers, servos, and sensors. This fosters problem-solving, critical thinking, and an understanding of real-world AI applications.
A typical day involves hands-on project building with real electronics, coding with Scratch to implement AI and computer vision concepts, and receiving personalized guidance from engineer instructors.
This camp is ideal for middle schoolers (ages 9-12) who have basic Scratch knowledge and are curious about how AI works and how to build their own robots.
