SciGenie focuses on making STEM education accessible, fun, and rewarding through unique, engaging programs that combine mind-expanding concepts with real-world applications.
SciGenie's AI and Machine Learning Program offers middle schoolers a hands-on exploration into the world of artificial intelligence. Campers engage in interactive activities, experiments, and projects to grasp core AI and machine learning concepts. The curriculum introduces how AI powers modern technology, the basics of training models with data, and practical applications like image recognition, chatbots, and voice assistants. Students will also delve into data science fundamentals for beginners, including visualizing and understanding datasets, and build simple machine learning projects using Scratch Extensions. The program emphasizes understanding AI ethics and human oversight, fostering critical thinking, data literacy, creativity, and problem-solving skills. It aims to provide a strong foundation for future STEM and computer science pursuits.
A typical day includes morning greetings, a STEM activity or project, snack breaks, indoor or outdoor activities, lunchtime, another STEM activity, and genius games like chess or board games before dismissal.
This program is best for middle school students aged 11-16 who are curious about how AI works and want to gain foundational skills in computer science and emerging technologies.
