The camp uniquely combines AI-powered game development with practical cybersecurity skills, allowing students to build resilient games and understand digital defense mechanisms.
The Discovery Tech - AI Game Development + Cybersecurity camp offers middle schoolers an immersive experience in the exciting intersection of artificial intelligence, game creation, and digital defense. Campers will learn how AI can be trained to recognize threats and build games that are resilient against cheats and exploits. A key project involves developing a 'Firewall Defender' game where students train an AI model to distinguish between 'Safe Data' and 'Malware' sprites. The curriculum also introduces concepts like machine learning models and network defense.
Participants will gain practical skills in game development and cybersecurity, understanding how AI can be applied to create interactive experiences and secure digital environments. The camp emphasizes digital citizenship, teaching not just how to use technology but also the responsibility that comes with it. Activities include designing tower defense games where enemies adapt using machine learning and exploring authentication methods like passwords versus biometrics to secure game data.
A typical day involves hands-on projects where campers design and develop games, train AI models, and explore cybersecurity concepts. Campers should bring a packed lunch and a refillable water bottle.
This camp is best for middle schoolers (grades 6-7) interested in understanding how AI can be used to build engaging games and enhance digital security.
