The camp uniquely blends practical software development with critical thinking about social impact, empowering young innovators to create beneficial applications and evaluate AI models ethically.
This one-week App Development & Artificial Intelligence for Good camp is designed for innovators aged 8-12 who are eager to use technology to make a positive impact. Campers will learn to build functional mobile applications using accessible, block-based programming tools like MIT App Inventor, focusing on user interface design, logic, and debugging. The curriculum also delves into AI fundamentals, where students will explore machine learning and data, training their own AI models with visual tools such as Google's Teachable Machine to recognize images, sounds, or poses. A core aspect of the camp is applying these skills to real-world problems, encouraging campers to brainstorm and develop app concepts that promote positive change, such as recycling or community safety. The program emphasizes critical evaluation, teaching ethical technology practices, identifying potential biases in AI models, and understanding the responsibilities that come with creating powerful technology. Campers will gain hands-on experience in the complete technology lifecycle, moving from idea to interactive prototype, and developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
A typical day involves hands-on activities where campers design, code, and test mobile applications using block-based programming tools, and explore AI fundamentals by training their own AI models with visual tools. Campers also engage in brainstorming sessions to apply their skills to real-world problems and participate in discussions about ethical technology.
This camp is ideal for young people aged 8-12 who are curious about how apps work, want to learn coding and AI, and are motivated to use technology to make a tangible difference in their community.
