From dancing robots and protein folding to ChatGPT, artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly powerful and seemingly closer (sometimes even exceeding) intelligence demonstrated by humans. But how do machines gain intelligence? How can AI be applied to build real world applications? This AI Creators class teaches teens how to create simple and practical AI apps using a variety of tools, such as the Python coding language, open source packages, commercial AI from Google, and API by Open AI (creator of ChatGPT). By the end of this advanced AI class for teens (grades 6-12), students will achieve a firm foundation in key technical concepts used in coding AI, build a variety of AI applications, and create AI models trained a variety of data, including medical imaging datasets (pneumonia, Covid-19, and the like). Students will also receive an excellent overview of the frontier of AI technology and develop strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
This course has been updated recently to include generative AI art and ChatGPT.
In the first unit, students will dive into computer vision, creating AI models representative of a variety of imaging datasets using Python code. By the end of this unit, students will have improved their conceptual understanding of AI and coding concepts. To achieve this, students will be exposed to, and successfully leverage, Google Vision API, machine learning basics, computer vision foundations, and neural networks.
Unit 2 of this course focuses on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), the core technology behind almost all advanced computer vision systems. We will learn a couple of different approaches for running CNN systems using different data sets. Throughout the class, students will be doing hands-on projects to run these systems while learning the underlying technologies. By the end of this unit, students will have deepened their understanding and utilization of AI for computer vision and coding concepts. We will also introduce students to Stable Diffusion, the frontier of Generative AI art technology. Students will run their own stable diffusion system to create arts with more controls.
Unit 3 covers two key areas - ChatGPT and Computer Vision for medical imaging. We will first introduce students to ChatGPT, its underlying technologies, and then cover how to code ChatGPT to create your own Specialty ChatBot. The remaining classes will focus on two different projects that apply learnings on Computer Vision from the previous units to the real world problem of diagnosis based on medical imaging. In particular, we first model chest X-ray images using Fastai for CNN (pneumonia vs. normal vs. covid). We then model chest X-ray images by building CNN from scratch.

This class is part of our artificial intelligence for kids program and is also available in a fun artificial intelligence camp format during summer, winter, and spring breaks.
For beginner-level classes, we recommend:
Create with ChatGPT – A great starting point for students whether or not they enjoy coding. With expert guidance, students learn how to use ChatGPT effectively, understand its strengths and limitations, and develop important skills such as critical thinking, executive function, and creativity.
AI Explorers (Grades 4–8) – Covers a wide range of AI topics, including:
Students also learn the conceptual technologies behind AI systems, such as neural networks and supervised learning. This class requires prior experience with Scratch coding.
For more advanced students, we offer:
All of our AI classes focus on real-world applications and cutting-edge technologies. The curriculum is continuously updated as new developments in AI emerge.
Great question. The AI Creators class is designed for kids in grades 6-12 who are ready to dive deeper into artificial intelligence. To make sure your child has a fantastic and successful experience, they'll need to have completed our Python coding course or have equivalent Python coding experience. This is because Python is the foundational language for building most AI applications, and we'll be jumping right into using it to create cool projects. Having taken 'AI Explorers' is a bonus, but not strictly required. We're building on those foundational concepts to tackle more complex and exciting challenges!
In AI Creators, your child won't just learn about the technologies/theory behind AI—they'll become an AI creator! They'll get hands-on experience mastering machine learning concepts and creating a variety of practical AI applications. Imagine them building apps that use computer vision (just like how phones recognize faces), working with cutting-edge tools similar to what powers ChatGPT, and even creating AI models to analyze real-world data, like medical images. They'll also get to experiment with generative AI art, making their own unique creations. It's all about active, project-based learning to bring AI to life!
Learning advanced AI now gives your child a headstart in a world where AI is transforming every industry, from medicine and entertainment to science and business. By mastering these concepts now, your child will not only learn about important AI technologies, but can also apply them to school projects, science fair competitions, and even summer internships during high school. Moreover, it will help them expand their interests early and help them decide career paths they are excited about in college and beyond.
That's a great question. There are many learning resources available for subjects like math, science, and even AI and coding—some of them even free. However, because the field of AI is evolving so rapidly, books can quickly become outdated. To access the latest information, learners will have to search across the internet, where most AI content is geared toward adults and not designed with kids in mind.
In our AI Creators class, we’ve gathered and organized the most up-to-date AI technologies that are well-suited for middle and high school students. We’ve built a well-structured, inquiry-based curriculum geared toward young learners and are very engaging. The curriculum is updated regularly to include the latest innovations. In addition, students receive step-by-step guidance from expert instructors who can answer their questions in real time and help them navigate complex concepts without getting stuck.
That's a great observation. There are so many possibilities with AI these days! The short answer is the three courses cover very different content, and it is very valuable to take all of them.
Python for AI teaches the fundamentals of the Python programming language. Since Python is very broad, we focus on the parts of the programming language most relevant for AI and Data Science. We also cover, in a relatively light way, how to use AI to debug and learn specific Python concepts.
AI Creators teaches students how to create applications that incorporate AI capabilities, e.g., a computer vision system for diagnosing x-ray images, a chatbot for answering customer questions, etc.
Advanced Python with AI Vibing Coding teaches students how to build much more complex software projects by leveraging AI’s coding capabilities. In fact, AI creates most of the code while coders focus primarily on feature and architecture design and give AI instructions on what to code. Examples of projects we build include a web scraper, a game used by Neurolink, and a maze solver.
In summary, the courses cover different important aspects of AI. "Python for AI" should be taken first, while "AI Creators" and "Advanced Python" classes can be taken in either order, or at the same time.
