About this camp

While everyone else uses AI, you’ll learn to build it. This isn’t just a camp; it’s a launchpad for ambitious teens ready to dominate the next tech wave.

Forget simple prompts. Guided by university experts, you’ll master Python and Machine Learning fundamentals, moving rapidly from theory to hard application. You’ll deconstruct AI architecture, demystifying how machines process information and make decisions.

Test your skills in a high-stakes, project-based environment.

You will code a functioning AI tool from scratch, gaining a massive competitive edge for college applications. We will also tackle the gray areas, sharpening your critical thinking on AI’s societal impact.

You can watch the future happen, or you can write the code for it.
