AI+AR Game Design with Coding for Junior

Grades: K-2

Length: 3 weeks

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

Prerequisite: None

Step into the future of fun! Junior Game Creators will embark on a 3-week journey combining the magic of Holographic AR with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

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

Students will learn to design advanced interactive games where the characters aren't just drawings—they are "smart" and can actually talk back! Imagine getting into the Minecraft world and negotiating with a Villager to solve a mystery, stepping inside Roblox to outsmart an intelligent bot, or having a real conversation with Pokémon right in the classroom.

Using kid-friendly coding blocks and AI tools, students define how these characters think and speak. Then, the real magic happens: using Holographic AR technology, they teleport into the game to chat, strategize, and play side-by-side with the intelligent characters they created!

Along the way, campers build creativity, critical thinking, and persistence as they debug and improve the AI game worlds they create.

Experience the Magic of AI + Holographic AR: We transform standard coding into an immersive, physical adventure with smart characters.

• Step Inside Your Game: Using just a simple webcam, students are magically transported to explore the worlds they built.
• Play with Smart Characters: This isn't just a normal game. Students will design AI characters that can think and react. Imagine facing a dragon that learns from your moves or a robot helper that guides you through a maze!
• You Are the Controller: No keyboard required to play! Jump to dodge obstacles, wave to cast spells, and use your body to interact with the AI world.
