Students don't just learn about AI; they actively design, build, and deploy their own AI-assisted web applications, culminating in a live project showcase for families.
The Ai App Makers camp at Nerding Summer Camp provides students in grades 6-9 with a hands-on introduction to artificial intelligence and its practical applications. Campers will learn what AI is, how it works, and how to use it effectively as a powerful tool. The curriculum emphasizes context engineering, teaching students that the quality of information provided to AI is more important than prompt phrasing. Through engaging projects, students will explore various facets of AI, including chatbots, image generation, music creation, video, AI agents, and coding. They will compare different AI models, work with AI agents that perform multi-step actions, and discuss real-world implications such as jobs, ethics, recommendation algorithms, deepfakes, and privacy. The camp culminates in a two-part final project: a presentation of their learning and a custom web app designed, built with AI assistance, and deployed live. Friday showcases allow families to see and interact with the working projects their children created.
A typical day involves hands-on specialized camp activities in the morning and afternoon, with breaks for snacks, lunch, and supervised recess for sports and socialization.
This camp is ideal for curious, creative, and persistent middle school students (grades 6-9) who are interested in understanding and building with artificial intelligence, rather than just using it.
