Step into the world of Artificial Intelligence through four days of hands-on creation, coding, and exploration. This workshop introduces S4–S6 students to AI and computer vision using real images, webcams, and Python — no prior experience needed. Participants will train custom models, experiment with generative AI, and explore ethical questions behind smart technologies. Each session builds practical skills and creative confidence, leading to a final project where students design interactive systems that respond to human movement. By the end, students will gain essential 21st-century skills — from problem-solving and digital literacy to innovation and ethical thinking — while discovering how AI connects to real-world challenges and future careers.
- Introduction to AI concepts
- Learn Python fundamentals for AI applications
- Explore generative AI and prompt engineering
- Real-Time Posture Prediction
- Google Teachable Machine Game (PacMan)
- Image processing with Python (using images and webcam)
- Discuss the general model training pipeline
- Engineering thinking and AI ethics discussion
