An emergency signal has been detected.
Supplies are stranded, rescue teams need help, and only intelligent drones can reach the danger zone in time. In this mission-based camp, students become drone pilots and problem-solvers, using code and AI-inspired logic to guide drones through rescue challenges. Every mission requires careful thinking, smart decisions, and creative solutions.

Drone - Rescue mission (AI Light)
In Drone - Rescue Mission (AI Light), your child steps into the role of a rescue engineer and drone pilot while getting an exciting first look at Machine Learning and gesture recognition.
This camp introduces students to Python programming, drone flight fundamentals, and a guided introduction to AI.
Campers explore how computers can recognize gestures and make predictions by working with pre-written Machine Learning code, then filling in key pieces to understand how AI systems work, without getting overwhelmed by complexity.
Students focus on how AI behaves, how models are trained, and how predictions influence real-world actions. This makes the camp the perfect bridge between basic coding and more advanced AI programs for teens.
Solution Topic
Through hands-on missions and guided coding, your child learns how AI, code, and drones work together.
Your child will:
Learn Python fundamentals used to control drone behaviour
Understand how drones move, navigate, and respond to commands
Explore Machine Learning through gesture recognition
Work with pre-written AI code to understand how predictions work
Use trained gestures to influence drone-based rescue missions
Practice problem-solving, testing, and refinement
The emphasis is on understanding concepts, not memorizing syntax
Design, Experiment, Build
Campers Will:
Learn the engineering design process
Research, ideate and identify the growing trends in Drone technology
Design and map your Drone to a real-life challenge
Take a deep dive into how AI detects faces
Control Drones using your Body
Conquer pre-defined maneuvers and surprise challenges using AI-coded drones
Showcase and present
AI Light in This Camp
Students are introduced to Machine Learning through gesture recognition and predictive behaviour. Using guided coding, campers train simple models and observe how computers recognize patterns and make predictions. These predictions are then connected to drone behaviour during rescue missions.
The focus is on understanding how AI systems learn from data and influence real-world actions, not on building complex models from scratch.
Camp Learning Journey
Day 1: Coding Foundations & Drone Flight Basics
Campers are introduced to Python programming through simple commands and logic. Students also learn drone safety, flight basics, and how code connects to real-world movement.
Day 2: What Is AI? Gesture Recognition & Training Models
Students are introduced to Machine Learning as a predictive tool. Campers explore how gesture recognition works by training models using examples and observing how computers learn patterns.
Day 3 - NO CAMP
Day 4: AI in Action Guided Coding & Smart Missions
Using pre-written Python and AI code, students fill in key sections to connect gesture predictions to drone behaviour. Campers see how trained gestures can trigger actions during rescue missions.
Day 5:Test, Refine & Rescue Mission Showcase
Students test and refine their missions, improving reliability and understanding how AI decisions affect outcomes. The camp concludes with a Rescue Mission Showcase, where campers explain how gestures, AI, and Python worked together.
