IMAGINE Training a GALACTIC AI Warrior
One that learns, adapts, and battles smarter than you!
What is AI GAME DEV CAMP?
In this camp, teens don’t just play games — they build epic space battles and train AI to outsmart the player.
Using Python and real Artificial Intelligence (AI), campers create their own Star Wars–inspired missions, then program intelligent agents that learn to dodge lasers, chase down enemies, and win without being explicitly instructed on how to do so with the power of REINFORCEMENT LEARNING
At Code-it Hacks Kids, the AI Camps game development camps, give young innovators the confidence to take their TECH skills to exciting new heights — literally!
REINFORCEMENT LEARNING (RL) AND THE FUTURE
Why we teach kids RL in Game Development
RL is FUELING
ROBOTICS
LLMs
ROBOTICS
RL is helping real-world robots:
-
Learn to walk, pick up objects, or navigate obstacle courses
-
Make decisions on the fly using sensor feedback
-
Adapt to unpredictable environments like homes, warehouses, or hospitals
“In fact, Google’s DeepMind used RL to teach a robot hand to solve a Rubik’s Cube — just like a human."
LLMs (Large Language Models)
RL isn’t just physical — it powers smart behaviour in AI like ChatGPT, too. With Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), LLMs:
-
Learn to give better, safer, more human-like answers
-
Improve responses based on what people find helpful
-
Combine reasoning, creativity, and decision-making
“Without RL, today’s AI chatbots wouldn’t be nearly as capable. In fact, DeepSeeks AI was made better than ChatGPT using Autonomous RL"
AND THE QUEST FOR AGI
RL and the Road to AGI: Why It Matters for the Future
,
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to AI systems that can think, learn, and adapt like humans — across any task, not just one narrow function. It’s the holy grail of AI, and reinforcement learning is one of the most critical tools helping us get there.
-
Generalized learning: RL helps agents learn across multiple domains — from games to physical movement to abstract reasoning — without needing a new dataset each time.
-
Autonomous decision-making: RL enables agents to act without pre-scripted instructions, building problem-solving ability from scratch.
-
Exploration and curiosity: Like a child experimenting with the world, RL encourages exploration, a key ingredient for general intelligence.
-
Continuous learning: RL agents can keep learning over time, evolving as their environment or task changes — a vital AGI trait.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) CAMPS for TEENS
AI PYTHON DRONE Coding Adventure
Aug 11th - Aug 15th, 2025
GALACTIC BATTLES AI GAME DEVELOPMENT
AGES: 12 + TEENS
PRICE: $615.00 + HST
Can you beat the computer? This futuristic camp will introduce students to the workings of Deep learning algorithms to design and build SMART interactive games.
Campers will explore how the REINFORCEMENT LEARNING is aiding the technology behind LLMs (Large language models, such as ChatGPT and and deepseek AI) and the next wave of AI development of AGI (Artificil Generalized Intellegince)
Machines can learn on their own with your help. Are you ready to train them? Let's start with first building our game. Next let's see how well and quickly can the AI pick up the rules!
Jun 30th - July 4th, 2025
FACE DETECTION WITH DRONES
AGES: 10 + TEENS
PRICE: $515.00 + HST
Can you imagine the possibilities of your computer telling if you are entering your house or if a stranger is entering just by looking at your face? Join this exciting AI Drone camp to learn how AI can solve practical problems.
You will learn how Machine learning can help your computer get smarter at recognizing human faces. Pair that with a drone, and you have a tiny device that can solve some real challenging problems better than humans can!
