In this class, kids and teens will embark on an AI adventure... an exciting 5-week journey into the world of Generative AI! This hands-on course teaches the basics of how AI works, while empowering learners to create their very own AI assistant using Generative AI and LLMs like ChatGPT from start to finish. From design and prototyping to testing and refining, students will develop practical skills in creativity, problem-solving, and technology. By the end of the course, they’ll have built a personalized AI assistant and gained real-world experience in a future-ready field. Class Experience This 5-week course is designed to provide an engaging, interactive, and supportive environment where students will learn step-by-step how to design, build, and implement a Generative AI assistant. The course is structured with weekly themes to guide learners through each stage of development. Teaching Style and Interaction The class combines lectures, guided discussions, hands-on labs, games, and collaborative activities to keep learners engaged and excited. Each session includes time for live Q&A, where students can ask questions and share their ideas. Learners will also collaborate with peers during small group activities to build their teamwork skills. Visual aids like slides and video clips will enhance understanding, while individual and group tasks will ensure everyone gets to apply what they’ve learned. I focus on fostering curiosity and creativity, making complex topics approachable and fun for kids and teens. Whether brainstorming, designing, building, or testing, learners will receive personalized feedback and encouragement every step of the way. This class is perfect for young tech enthusiasts who want to dive into AI, learn by doing, and walk away with a project they can be proud of!
