Step into the world behind the screen in this immersive introduction to computer science and artificial intelligence. Designed for curious, tech-minded learners, this camp helps students understand not just how to use technology, but how it actually works.

Throughout the week, campers explore foundational computer science concepts such as algorithms, logic, sequencing, conditionals, variables, and data structures through guided coding challenges and interactive projects. Students begin to see how complex systems are built from simple instructions and how programmers think through problems step by step.

As the camp progresses, students are introduced to core ideas in artificial intelligence. They explore how machines recognize patterns, learn from data, and make decisions. Through hands-on simulations and beginner-friendly projects, campers investigate how AI powers real-world tools like search engines, recommendation systems, voice assistants, and image recognition software.

In addition to building technical knowledge, students strengthen:

• Logical reasoning and computational thinking
• Problem-solving and debugging skills
• Systems thinking and pattern recognition
• Confidence navigating emerging technologies
• Awareness of ethical considerations in AI development

By the end of camp, participants walk away with a stronger understanding of how software and intelligent systems are built, a foundation for future coding learning, and the confidence to engage thoughtfully with the rapidly evolving world of technology.
