Students learn to build an AI-powered game from scratch while utilizing AI coding assistants and integrating AI services for a smart opponent.
This hands-on Python & AI Coding Camp teaches middle and high school students to code in Python and build an AI-powered game from scratch. Students will learn core programming concepts, data structures, functions, control flow, and object-oriented thinking. They will also explore AI by using AI coding assistants to understand and improve their Python code, and by integrating an AI service to create a smart game opponent. The curriculum includes direct interaction with modern Large Language Models. By experimenting, making mistakes, and building real projects from day one, students will gain confidence as creators and develop skills in data science basics, including organizing, visualizing, and manipulating data using Python libraries. The camp culminates in students creating a classic text-based game in Python, first as player-vs-player, then upgraded with an AI-powered opponent.
A typical day involves hands-on coding, experimenting with Python, and building components of an AI-powered game, with guidance from instructors and the use of AI coding assistants.
This camp is best for middle and high school students interested in coding and AI, with no previous programming experience required.
