Students don't just use AI; they learn to direct it, focusing on critical thinking, creativity, and ethical reasoning to build meaningful projects without coding.
The AI Explorers Summer AI Camp in Irvine offers a hands-on, project-based experience where students learn to direct artificial intelligence without needing prior coding experience. The program focuses on four pillars of AI fluency: understanding how AI works, learning to create with AI (text, images, audio, video), directing AI by asking better questions, and reflecting on ethical and responsible AI use. Students will develop a creative portfolio of AI-designed projects, master prompting skills, and gain a critical eye for AI's capabilities and limitations. High schoolers will also work towards a capstone project and build foundational skills for future computer science or AI studies. The camp emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and ethical reasoning, preparing students to be thoughtful innovators in an AI-powered world.
A typical day involves interactive lessons, hands-on labs, and team challenges, where students build AI skills, understand AI technology, and learn to identify mistakes and misinformation.
This camp is ideal for curious middle and high school students interested in AI and technology, who enjoy hands-on, creative projects and problem-solving, and want to explore how AI can be used for art, games, and chatbots.
