The camp offers a unique blend of AI exploration and digital game design, providing hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies within a collaborative university environment.
This one-week day camp at NC State University allows middle schoolers (rising 6th-8th graders) to dive into the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital game design. Campers will engage in hands-on activities to explore various AI technologies and concepts, specifically as they are used in creating digital games. Each day focuses on a different AI concept, building confidence in designing, operating, and creating with AI. Students will learn to play, create, and code, preparing them for future technology. The curriculum is new each year, ensuring fresh challenges and learning experiences. The camp emphasizes collaborative group work, creative investigations, and design challenges, mirroring how engineers solve real-world problems. Activities may include learning about pathfinding for non-player characters, machine learning, generative AI for language or image creation, and AI ethics. The program aims to inspire the next generation of problem-solvers and innovators in STEM fields.
A typical day begins at 9 a.m. with students receiving a new engineering challenge, then splitting into small teams to investigate and find a solution, with breaks for lunch and outdoor time.
This camp is best for curious middle school students (rising 6th-8th graders) who are eager to explore Artificial Intelligence and digital game design through hands-on coding and creative problem-solving.
