The new camp teaches middle schoolers about artificial intelligence through hands-on activities.
Elon University’s new weeklong summer day camp focusing on artificial intelligence was recently featured on WXII in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The camp, AI Play, is led by the university’s computer science department, teaches middle school students about artificial intelligence through hands-on learning and digital game design.
Alexis Goslen, assistant professor of computer science and director of the camp, said it is important to introduce kids to the basics of AI because they are exposed to it in their everyday lives.
“The cool thing is to get them to understand how those technologies are working,” Goslen told WXII. “Then they could maybe decide what they want to do with it and make informed decisions about it.”
