Each camp was 2 weeks long. AI Camp for Future Innovators K-2 Camp, the students spent week 1 learning the basics of AI and machine learning and how to build use of blocks of code on the Scratch website. Week 2 was spent building a basic chatbot that would interact with the user and respond based on user input. We also learned that AI = Fake Smarts. Meaning we make it smart! AI Camp for Future Innovators 3-5 Camp spent week 1 learning the basics of AI and machine learning and how to build use of blocks of code on the Scratch website. They also learned from other AI-based Scratch projects the different code blocks that are needed to code a program that can “learn”. Week 2 the students focused on building their own chatbot from scratch or customizing an existing project to add AI functionality and user interactions.…
