What Is AI Explorers?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life, from voice assistants and search engines to educational tools and technology used around the world. AI Explorers introduces students to these concepts in a way that is fun, age-appropriate, and easy to understand.
During this live virtual class, students will explore how artificial intelligence works while learning foundational coding concepts using Scratch, a beginner-friendly coding platform designed for young learners.
Students will have the opportunity to build a simple AI-powered project, explore image or text recognition technology, and discover how machines learn to identify patterns and make decisions.
Most importantly, students will see that technology is not just something they use, it is something they can learn to create.
What Students Will Experience
Participants will have opportunities to:
• Explore the basics of artificial intelligence
• Build a simple AI-powered project using Scratch
• Learn how image and text recognition technology works
• Discover how machines identify patterns and learn from information
• Strengthen creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills
• Gain confidence through hands-on STEM learning
• Participate in live instruction and interactive breakout room activities
No prior coding experience is required.
Whether students are already interested in technology or simply curious about how AI works, this introductory class is designed to provide a welcoming and engaging learning experience for all participants.
