AI Camp Programme
Ages 11-17 | English
€4,850
Per two-week session
Discover artificial intelligence through hands-on experimentation with robotics, coding, and cybersecurity. Led by AI specialists from École Jeannine Manuel and Fun Tech Adventures, this programme offers two distinct sessions. Students can attend one or both for a complete four-week technology immersion. Everything is learned through experimentation rather than abstract theory, developing the skills and mindset for tomorrow’s careers.
Session 1: June 28 – July 11
- Ages 11-14: Build intelligent robots using AlphAI, mBot, and LEGO Spike. Learn how machines sense their environment, make decisions, and “learn” from data through interactive activities exploring sensors, algorithms, and automation.
- Ages 15-17: Immerse yourself in AI through Alph AI robots whilst learning Python programming. Discover machine learning, decision-making, data processing, and automation through hands-on experimentation that connects visual tools with university-level practices.
Session 2: July 12 – July 25
- Ages 11-14: Join the CyberLab as “apprentice spies” taking part in games, challenges, and secret missions. Learn to protect personal information and navigate the internet safely whilst strengthening critical thinking and teamwork.
- Ages 15-17: Code AI from scratch using Python. Learn to build a perceptron, the foundational neural network model, whilst experimenting with how machines learn from data, adjust parameters, and make decisions. No advanced Python knowledge required.
