The APP-AI summer camp is for high-school students with demonstrated background in coding and a strong interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in machine learning, computer vision, image generation/recognition, and robotics.

The STEM summer camp for future problem solvers is open to high-school students who are interested in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields of study. It will provide a venue for students to learn mechanical design, electronics, and coding. It will teach engineering and math skills, as well as collaboration and teamwork, and will aim at developing these diverse skills to solve problems and encourage innovation.
