Kids Explore Artificial Intelligence Through Interactive Challenges

Workshop Overview

AI is more than just a buzzword—it is a part of our everyday lives. From voice assistants like Siri to personalised recommendations on YouTube and Spotify, AI is transforming how we live and interact with the world. In this workshop, students will first explore the foundational principles of AI through real-world examples and thoughtfully designed interactive games. The workshop will then culminate in a challenge where students apply their creativity and logic to design an AI assistant that tackles an everyday task.
