Two groups of students, totaling 15 participants, recently took part in the Technology for the Future: Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Summer Camp. The camp was held on 15-17 July and 18-22 July, with each group attending three full-day classes. Organized by the Education Innovation Research Institute in the Greater Bay Area (EIRIGB), the camp aimed to enhance students’ understanding and application capabilities of artificial intelligence technology.
In these three days, students were introduced to various topics, including block-based programming, AI car assembly, IoT device assembly, wheel motion control, game controller usage, Bluetooth communication, program design, optimization and iteration, screen display, and image recognition implementation.
During the summer camp, students learned how to utilize programming to control an AI car, enabling it to move autonomously. They also gained hands-on experience with IoT devices to manually operate a robot car and complete various pre-set tasks. Through these activities, students developed an understanding of the significance of AI in replacing manual labor.
Overall, the Technology for the Future: Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Summer Camp provided an opportunity for students to expand their knowledge and skills in AI technology, paving the way for their future endeavors.
