人工智慧與程式設計夏令營

In this camp, students will learn the hottest AI topics, including path planning, speech recognition, and more. They will also learn to code in Calypso, an AI programming framework. By coding a virtual robot to chase objects, plan paths to destinations, and solve mazes, students learn programming and computer science while learning about the behind-the-scenes AI technology in self-driving cars. 

In the second week, students will work on a project where they will identify a societal problem then code a demo to illustrate how AI can help solve this issue. By the end of the course, students will have completed their coding projects from start to finish. 

No prior experience required. This camp is best suited for students who may have had experience with Scratch but limited experience with Java, Python, etc. 

Learning Objectives
Lesson 1: 
● Code their first line in Calypso
● Code the virtual robot to pursue an object and observe path planning in real-time
● Learn about the first two "laws" in Calypso

Lesson 2: 
● Code multiple characters in addition to the robot
● Learn the other three laws in Calypso
● Code using indentation and pages to accomplish more complex behaviors

Lesson 3: 
● Make a maze for the robot to solve
● Code a complex project with multiple goals and destinations
● Come up with and pitch their positive AI project idea

Lesson 4: 
● Design and code their project, with help from the instructor if necessary
● Present the project to peers and family members!
