What the week actually is

An AI camp for children should spend more time on what the model gets wrong than on what it gets right. Students train small classifiers, watch them fail on data they did not anticipate, and learn where confidence comes from — which is the skill that outlasts any tool.

Day by day

  1. What a model is, in objects not code
  2. Label your own data set
  3. Train it and find where it fails
  4. Fix the data, not the model
  5. Showcase: show the failure you found

Questions we get from Mobile, AL

Is it just prompting chatbots?
No. They build and break small models, label their own data, and see the bias they introduced by accident.
Do they need maths beyond their grade?
No, though the ratio and percentage work gets a real workout.
Is it age-appropriate?
Ten and up. The material about how models fail is exactly what this age should hear first.
