The image flashes on the screen for just a moment: crowded, chaotic, packed with colour and motion. Somewhere inside it is the detail that matters. A character. An object. A clue.
You see it almost instantly. The computer doesn’t.
To a machine, every pixel looks the same unless it’s been trained to know what it’s looking for. In games, simulations, and real-world systems, the ability to “see” correctly can mean winning or losing, acting or missing the moment entirely. What if a computer had to find Waldo in a crowded image, or decide which details actually matter?

MACHINE LEARNING - AI DEEP
AI Detectives: Visual Intelligence for Real-World
In AI Detectives: Visual Intelligence for the Real World, teens take on the role of AI investigators. Their mission: teach intelligent systems how to spot what matters in visual chaos, whether it’s finding a hidden target like Waldo, recognizing key elements in a game scene, or identifying patterns humans take for granted.
Through engaging, real-world inspired challenges, students explore how visual AI is actually used and why data quality, bias, and accuracy matter just as much as code. Students use Python to train, test, and refine image classification systems that help computers recognize patterns, categorize images, and flag important details.
Along the way, students discover that training AI isn’t about giving answers, it’s about asking the right questions, testing assumptions, and deciding what should matter in the first place.
Solution Topic
Through hands-on investigation and guided experimentation, your teen learns how computers are taught to “see” and make decisions.
Campers will explore topics such as:
How do you train a computer for the next best move?
Training AI AI Bias Ethical AI
Design, Experiment, Build
Your teen will:
Understand how image classification works in the real-world AI systems
Learn how Machine Learning models are trained and tested
Explore how data quality affects AI accuracy
Analyze why AI systems make mistakes
Learn how bias can appear in
AI and how to reduce it
Build confidence working with real AI tools and concepts
This camp is ideal for teens curious about AI, data science, computer vision, or ethical technology.
AI in this Camp
This camp introduces teens to foundational Machine Learning concepts used in professional AI systems, including:
Image classification workflows
Training vs testing models
Pattern recognition and prediction
Model evaluation and improvement
Bias, accuracy, and ethical considerations
Students gain a clear understanding of how AI systems learn and why responsible design matters.
Camp Learning Journey
Day 1: How Machines See Foundations of Visual AI
Teens are introduced to Machine Learning and computer vision. Students explore how images are represented as data and begin working with Python to analyze and organize image datasets.
Day 2: Training an AI - From Examples to Predictions
Students train their first image classification models. Teens learn the difference between training and testing data and see how models make predictions based on patterns.
Day 3: Accuracy, Errors & Bias - When AI Gets It Wrong
Teens investigate misclassifications and analyze why models fail. Students explore bias in datasets and learn how incomplete or unbalanced data can lead to unreliable results.
Day 4: Improving Intelligence - Refinement & Real-World Scenarios
Students refine their models by improving datasets and adjusting training approaches. Teens connect their work to real-world applications such as security systems, quality control, and environmental monitoring.
Day 5: AI Investigation Showcase - Explaining Intelligence
Teens present their image classification systems, explain how they trained them, and discuss the ethical and practical implications of their AI decisions.
What will you learn?
Python for Machine Learning workflows
Image data preparation and labelling
Training and testing classification models
Model accuracy and evaluation
Bias detection and mitigation
Ethical considerations in AI systems
What will you make?
One or more trained image classification models
Python programs for training and testing AI systems
Visual analysis reports showing predictions and errors
A real-world–inspired AI investigation project
What will you take?
Your Python code and trained models
Experience working with real Machine Learning concepts
A strong foundation in computer vision and AI thinking
Confidence in explaining how AI systems make decisions
Friday Fun Day
Camp concludes with an AI Investigation Showcase, where teens present their findings, demonstrate their models, and explain how their AI systems interpret images and make decisions.
PIZZA LUNCH DAY (Campers enjoy PIZZA lunch Party on Friday - On us!)
We will know closer to the camp week if this camp will head to a TECH Company.
