The camp provides a unique opportunity for middle school students to learn AI concepts and digital game design through playful, hands-on activities led by university faculty.
The AI Play Summer Day Camp by Elon University offers middle school students a week-long immersive experience in artificial intelligence and digital game design. Participants engage in hands-on activities led by Elon University faculty, exploring fundamental AI concepts. Each day focuses on a different AI principle, allowing students to develop their own projects and gain practical experience. Activities include a robot relay to understand how robots interpret environments, classifying candy to learn about AI decision-making, and discussions on AI ethics. The camp aims to build confidence in operating, designing, and creating with emerging technologies, utilizing visual coding platforms like Scratch. No prior programming experience is required, making it accessible for curious students to explore the future of technology.
A typical day starts at 8:45 a.m. with a game-based introduction to an AI concept, followed by hands-on activities and project development, concluding by 3:30 p.m.
This camp is best for rising 6th to 8th graders interested in exploring the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and digital game design through hands-on activities.
