Now, summer camps to teach children how artificial intelligence works

iRobokid is taking steps to make young kids familiar with STEM Education involving courses in Robotics, Coding, 3D Printing, Electrics and Electronics

If one were to pick one promising technology buzzword of the present time that is sure to drive all aspects human life in tomorrow’s world, one would most likely pick ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (AI). It is the young generation that is going to make use of this technology the most. Naturally, therefore, some educational institutions have already working on the ‘catch ’em young’ principle and impart them the right knowledge about AI.

 

Among them, iRobokid is stepping forward to make young kids familiar with STEM Education involving courses in Robotics, Coding, 3D Printing, Electrics and Electronics – in a way that it does not come through as too heavy on young minds, through summer camps.

 

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. STEM education helps children to learn in a more cohesive manner taking examples of science from the real world.

 

What is iRobokid?

 

The educational institution, iRobokid is offering a summer camp since March 5; it will end on June 16. The summer camp is divided into two separate camps: Camp 1 that caters to the children studying in Grade 5 and above and Camp 2 that focuses on educating children between Grades 2 and 4.
