“AI Unlocked: Build, Train & Launch Your Own Smart Systems” Camp (Register Now!)
July 13, 2026 - July 17, 2026
Are you interested in exploring Artificial Intelligence?
In AI Unlocked, you will spend a full week exploring the technology behind generative AI, machine learning, computer vision and smart devices. Through interactive challenges and hands-on builds, you will discover how machines predict outcomes, “see” images, respond to prompts and even operate on real hardware like Raspberry Pi systems and drones.
You will experiment with generative AI tools, train simple image classification models, calibrate robots using prediction models and design smarter prompts to get better AI results.
Then you will take it a step further, running AI directly on edge devices and exploring how intelligent drones and cyber-physical systems work in the real world. No coding or AI experience? No problem. You’ll learn everything step-by-step in a supportive, team-based environment.
