AI+3D AR Game Design With NVIDIA AI

Length: 3 weeks

Accreditation: Fully WASC Accredited (The Gold Standard in K-12 Education)

Prerequisite: None

DESCRIPTION

From designing intelligent Minecraft worlds to coding smart Pokémon! Teen Innovators will embark on a transformative 3-week journey, combining 3D Game Design, Python coding, and the cutting-edge power of AI.

No experience needed—everyone learns at their own pace, with extra challenges for students who are ready for more.

In this immersive camp, you don't just create games—you breathe life into them. Students will move beyond basic animation to create fully living 3D AR games inspired by Minecraft, Roblox, Pokémon, and Mario.

Students will learn 3D modeling and animation, then integrate cutting-edge Generative AI to make their games truly "alive." They will train AI using the NVIDIA platform and earn an NVIDIA AI certificate*. They will code characters that can actually talk and converse with players.

Finally, the real magic happens. Using just a standard webcam, students teleport inside these high-tech worlds. No goggles or headsets needed!

Imagine having a real conversation with your Mario character, training a smart Pokémon that learns from you, or exploring a Minecraft world that evolves in real-time. It’s the ultimate blend of design, Python code, and AI reality!

Along the way, students build creativity, critical thinking, and persistence as they debug and improve the intelligent 3D worlds they create.

Experience the Magic of Generative AI & 3D AR: Create characters that talk back and worlds that evolve.

• Living Characters: Create Game NPCs (Non-Player Characters) that don't just follow a script—they use AI to hold real conversations with you.
• Generative Creation: Use AI to help generate game assets and dynamic responses, making every playthrough unique.
• Future Tech Today: Work with the same powerful NVIDIA AI technology used by industry pros to power your own custom game world.

What You Will Do:

• Learn 3D Design: Learn 3D modeling, rigging, and animation to build 3D game assets using professional tools.
• Train Generative AI: Use the NVIDIA AI platform to train models that power the intelligence of your game characters.
• Code Advanced Python: Write sophisticated Python scripts that merge 3D graphics with AI intelligence for seamless gameplay.
• Build Your Own AI Game: Spend three weeks crafting a portfolio-worthy project where you step inside a 3D world populated by intelligent, talking characters.
