Students go beyond simply using AI tools to understanding how AI works, training their own models, and building a portfolio of tangible AI projects.
The AI Explorers Lab is a live online program designed for middle schoolers in grades 6-8 to become AI creators, not just users. Students engage in hands-on projects, learning how AI works through creative activities like building chatbots, designing AI art, and training their own models. The curriculum covers essential concepts such as data, pattern recognition, model training, accuracy, bias, and responsible AI usage. Participants will develop a personal prompt engineering toolkit, create AI-assisted stories, conduct fact-checks on AI outputs, and design AI-for-good poster campaigns. The program culminates in students building a working chatbot or an AI-powered quiz/game and presenting a final showcase, receiving a certificate of completion and an AI portfolio.
A typical day involves a 90-minute live online session with real mentors, where students spend 80% of their time actively creating and building AI projects.
This program is best for curious middle schoolers in grades 6-8 who want to understand how AI works, build their own AI projects, and use AI responsibly, with no prior coding experience required.
