AI Experience Lab for Teen

Grades: 6-8

Length: 1 week

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

Prerequisite: None

DESCRIPTION

Unlock the secrets of the future! In this teen-level camp, students will build a REAL AI Doll with a physical AI device/module inside, then take it further by configuring advanced features like eye control, personalization, and interactive behaviors. They’ll also train AI models, test and improve accuracy, and integrate AI into working systems—connecting AI to real inputs and outputs.

No experience needed. Students learn step-by-step at their own pace, with extra challenges for students who are ready for more.

The Big Project: Build a REAL AI Doll (Physical AI!)

This year’s signature build is the AI Doll—a doll with a physical AI device/module inside. Students will assemble, configure, and personalize their AI Doll, including features like eye control, custom responses, and interactive modes. This is a major hands-on highlight: AI you can hold, test, and show off.

Experience the Magic of AI + AR

We combine creative coding with practical machine learning and Holographic AR—no goggles or headsets needed.

• Train AI Models: Students train AI to recognize hand signals, specific objects/drawings, and voice commands, then evaluate and improve performance.
• Build & Configure the AI Doll (Physical AI): Students learn how the physical AI device works inside a real object and configure the doll’s behaviors—eye
      control, personalization, and interactive actions.
• Step Inside the Tech: Using a standard webcam, students “teleport” into the screen to test their creations and interact with them in real time.
• Create Smart, Interactive Worlds: Build AI-powered AR experiences—trigger effects and actions through gestures, images, or sound, then refine
      through testing and debugging.

Along the way, students build creativity, confidence, critical thinking, and persistence as they experiment, troubleshoot, and iterate on real builds.
