From games and apps to drones, robots, and digital creativity, today’s technology is increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Kids don’t just need to use AI - they need to understand how it works, where it succeeds, where it falls short, and how to use it responsibly.
AI DEEP - For TEENS
A deeper, hands-on AI experience for teens ages 13–17, built on real programming foundations
Both pathways are designed to help students move beyond passive technology use and grow into confident creators, critical thinkers, and future-ready problem solvers.
Summer 2026 marks the launch of
AI Light and AI Deep
​
Two learning paths for kids and teens.
AI GROWING TRENDS
AI GROWING DEMAND
Nearly 25% of all occupations now show baseline demand for AI-related skills - including creative, business, and technical roles.
EFFICIENCIES ACROSS INDUSTRIES
AI literacy improves problem-solving across industries
Workers with basic AI understanding demonstrate 20–30% higher problem-solving efficiency, even in non-technical fields like design, marketing, and operations.
CREATIVE PROFESSIONS
Creative professionals using AI complete tasks 25–40% faster without reducing quality when they understand how AI systems behave.
STRENGTHENS ENGINEERING MINDSET
Engineering mindset skills predict long-term success
Students trained in systems thinking, debugging, and iterative design are 2–3× more likely to persist in advanced STEM and creative problem-solving fields.
AI education isn’t about choosing a career - it’s about building the thinking skills behind many careers.
AI LIGHT
AI Light™ introduces students to how artificial intelligence learns and makes decisions through guided, age-appropriate experiences. Students explore real AI ideas - including machine learning and classification - without the complexity of building full models from scratch.
Concepts first. Guided coding. Age-appropriate AI learning.
Key Focus Areas
Foundational AI and machine learning concepts are introduced in an age-appropriate, visual, and intuitive way
An introduction to supervised learning through guided, hands-on experiences
How AI systems recognize patterns, make predictions, and sort information
Exposure to how AI is applied across different creative and technical tools used in camp projects
Understanding both the capabilities and limitations of AI, including where human thinking, creativity, and judgment are still essential
Best for kids ages 8–14 who are ready to explore how AI works through hands-on projects, creativity and guided experimentation.
WHY INTRODUCE AI LIGHT AT AGES 8–12?
Key Reasons
Kids are already interacting with AI-driven systems, often without realizing it
​
Without guidance, AI can feel like magic rather than something understandable
​
Early exposure builds comfort, confidence, and curiosity, not dependency
AI Light frames AI as a tool kids can create with, not just consume
Discovery
Students discover that AI:
Is designed and guided by people, not magic
​
Looks for patterns to make decisions
​
Can make mistakes and needs human judgment and oversight
Learning Goals
At this age, the goal is AI literacy, not technical mastery:
Understanding how patterns, classification, and prediction work
Recognizing limitations, bias, and uncertainty
Developing critical thinking and healthy skepticism about technology
Hands on outcome
Through guided, age-appropriate projects, students:
​
Build confidence using modern technology
Strengthen creativity, reasoning, and problem-solving skills
Develop habits that support future learning in coding, robotics, science, and AI
AI Light Summer Camps help kids form a healthy, responsible, collaborative relationship with AI, long before the stakes get higher
AI DEEP
AI DEEP is designed for teens who are ready to go under the hood. Students learn how intelligent systems are built, tested, and improved using real programming foundations.
Built on real code. Deeper systems. Real-world applications.
Key Focus Areas
Data-driven decision making and how intelligent systems learn, adapt, and respond to environments
Game and simulation AI, including how non-player characters (NPCs) perceive, decide, and react within virtual worlds
Exploration of major AI paradigms shaping today’s technology landscape, including:
-
Machine learning and model-based learning systems
-
Reinforcement learning and reward-based decision making
-
Generative AI and large language model (LLM) concepts
Designing and refining intelligent behaviors for agents, characters, or systems across interactive environments
Understanding system limitations, trade-offs, and responsible use of advanced AI technologies
Best for teens ages 13–17 who are ready for deeper technical challenges and future-focused skills.
AI DEEP - FOR TEENS READY TO GO FURTHER
AI Deep™ is designed for teens who want to move beyond surface-level interaction and understand how intelligent systems actually work. These camps emphasize real coding, systems thinking, and decision-making - helping students design, test, and refine AI-driven behaviour with intention and control.
Rather than treating AI as a black box, teens learn how intelligent systems are built, where they can fail, and how thoughtful design improves results.
WHY TEENS LOVE AI DEEP
Confidence Replaces Guesswork
What starts as curiosity turns into confidence. Teens walk away knowing they can understand complex systems, improve them, and explain how they work — a huge confidence boost.
They See How AI Powers the Worlds They Love
Game AI, NPC behavior, simulations, and smart systems show teens how AI powers the worlds they play in — and how they can design those worlds themselves.
They Get to Make Systems Think
Teens build systems that react, adapt, and make decisions, not pre-built demos or scripted outcomes.
They’re Trusted With Real Power
AI Deep™ gives teens control over complex systems. They experiment, tweak, and improve their work, making each project feel personal, challenging, and genuinely theirs.
They see a Real Challenge -that also build confidence
Students are trusted with meaningful challenges that encourage testing, refinement, and independent problem-solving.
AI Deep™ pushes teens to think critically and persist through complexity without feeling overwhelmed.
Ready to Build AI Confidence That Lasts?
Whether your child is just beginning to explore how AI works or is ready to dive deeper into intelligent systems, our camps are designed to build understanding, confidence, and future-ready thinking - one layer at a time.
