Students gain hands-on experience with real machine learning models and prompt engineering on industry-relevant platforms.
Students in the Fairfax Collegiate Artificial Intelligence camp delve into the world of AI, exploring its past, present, and future. The curriculum blends conceptual instruction with hands-on experimentation, allowing students to gain a deeper understanding of how modern AI systems function. Participants will work with real machine learning models on platforms like Google Colab and Hugging Face Hub, practicing prompt engineering to design and test structured prompts. They will investigate how AI handles tasks related to vision, language, and search, running experiments to compare models and uncover failure cases. The camp also encourages critical thinking and discussion about the business opportunities and social issues created by AI. Laptops are provided for all student work, and students can access their projects after the course to continue their exploration.
A typical day involves a blend of concept-first instruction, guided hands-on exploration with machine learning models, and discussions on AI's impact.
This camp is ideal for middle and high school students (rising grades 9-12) who are curious about artificial intelligence and want to gain practical experience with modern AI tools.
