The camp offers an intensive, one-week program designed to move students past basic programming into cutting-edge AI concepts through practical application and hands-on development with robots and machine learning.
Students at Lavner Camps' Artificial Intelligence Programs at the University of San Diego will engage in hands-on projects to explore cutting-edge AI topics. The curriculum focuses on practical application, algorithmic logic, and critical evaluation, providing a robust introduction to real-world AI development. Campers will learn about core machine learning fundamentals by working with datasets like MNIST to understand data organization, processing, and system training. They will implement algorithms such as the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) to recognize patterns and refine models by testing for mistakes and bias. A key outcome is building an AI Agent capable of setting goals and solving complex, multi-step problems. The program also involves working with artificially intelligent robots like Codey Rocky® and Sphero BOLT® to complete missions and compare AI models, including discussions on large language models like ChatGPT. By the end of the week, students will have a portfolio showcasing functional AI projects and a comprehensive understanding of autonomous technology.
A typical day includes a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, with specialized learning sessions, opportunities for socialization, and a snack and recess period.
This camp is ideal for aspiring engineers and coders aged 10-14 who have some prior coding experience with Python or AI and are ready to delve into advanced AI concepts and hands-on development.
