AI Storybook Studio
— Reading, Interpretation & Digital Storytelling
Campers explore storytelling through reading, discussion, and interpretation of age-appropriate digital stories. Students examine characters, plot, and structure, then use modern digital tools and guided AI support to create illustrated storybooks of their own. Emphasis is placed on reading comprehension, creative decision-making, and expressing ideas clearly.
AI Game Systems Studio
— Design & Interactive Play
Campers design and build interactive video games while learning how games respond to player actions. Students explore basic coding logic, rules, and cause-and-effect as they test and improve their creations. By the end of the week, each camper publishes a playable game.
AI App Engineering & Product Design
Students design and build simple apps while learning how real digital products are planned and improved. Campers focus on layout, functionality, and user experience using guided tools and feedback. Parents receive a working version of the app to test.
LEGO Science Lab
— Forces, Motion & Investigation
Campers explore real science concepts using LEGO as an investigation tool. Students make predictions, test ideas, measure outcomes, and explain results while learning about forces, motion, balance, and energy. This is a science-first experience focused on observation and reasoning.
LEGO Engineering & Mechanical Design
— Systems in Motion
Campers design and build LEGO machines that lift, move, and transfer objects. Students learn how gears, levers, and structures work together while solving practical engineering challenges. Emphasis is placed on planning, testing, and improving designs.
LEGO Robotics & Coding
— Automation in Action
Campers build and program LEGO robots that respond to their environment using sensors and visual coding. Students learn how instructions and logic control behavior as robots navigate spaces and complete challenges.
Fashion Design, Branding & Digital Craft
Campers design custom wearable items while learning about visual design, color, layout, and branding. Students turn their ideas into finished t-shirts or hoodies, focusing on creativity and personal expression.
AI-Driven 3D Modeling & Rapid Prototyping
Campers design objects using AI-assisted 3D modeling tools and produce physical prints. Students learn how ideas move from digital design to real-world objects through planning, testing, and refinement.
AI Coding with Minecraft Education
Using Minecraft Education, campers learn how code controls behavior in a digital world. Students use block-based coding and are introduced to JavaScript and Python concepts to create rules, triggers, and automated systems they can see in action.
