The camp offers a live, interactive university-style learning experience delivered online, where teens build real projects and receive a digital badge upon completion.
This virtual camp teaches teens the fundamental algorithms and techniques behind artificial intelligence and recommendation systems using Python coding. Participants will learn to develop smart, interactive chatbots tailored to their interests and explore the responsible use of AI. The curriculum covers basic Python coding concepts, how recommendation systems work (including collaborative filtering and content-based techniques), the Machine Learning Lifecycle (data gathering, cleaning, training, and testing models), and the application of machine learning algorithms like Surprise. Students will also discover how to connect APIs that leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to make their chatbots more conversational. The final project involves building a recommendation system using Python and the Surprise library with real-world data, and an interactive chatbot customized from a pre-built Discord bot template.
Students join scheduled live, instructor-led online sessions where they collaborate in breakout rooms, work on challenges, and engage in hands-on projects.
This course is designed for learners interested in the growing field of Artificial Intelligence, with no prior programming experience required, though a curiosity for coding and a desire to understand AI concepts will enhance the experience.
