Fire Tech Camp was a great experience and the best camp I've ever been to. I think the camp does a great job in combining fun with learning.

COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to COVID-19 restrictions and our concerns for customer and staff safety, we have only limited availability of in-person camps. If there is not camp available in your area, we recommend our online courses, now available worldwide. Students can make new friends, complete creative tech challenges and learn from live tutors in small groups – all from the comfort of their homes.

Senior Adventures in Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Machine Learning and A.I for kids
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the hottest topic in tech. Learners will build AI models to control autonomous vehicles and smart homes, and try to predict a movie’s success based on its poster. The ideal course to inspire further learning in AI.
Course highlights
AI in the world today
Learn how AI is being used in the world right now, from autonomous cars to applications in medicine. We'll explore how these work, as well as the positives and negatives we need to be aware of.
Make a smart home smarter
Using AI and Machine Learning we will look at the ways we can a smart home smarter.
Machines of the Future
We'll look at machines of the future such as robots, nanobots, collective A.I. units and evolutionary computers. What are the best ways to create AI and Machine Learning without introducing built-in bias.

The length of the day varies, with teen courses often starting a little later (at 10am rather than 9am). We also have some morning or afternoon only sessions.
A typical day begins with children arriving between 8.30 and 9.15am. There is then a warm-up activity and an introduction to the next step in developing projects. Project work will last all morning with a break for a snack.
Lunch lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. Students normally bring their own lunches, or older students can often purchase food at the on-site facilities. If the weather is good, the tutors will accompany the younger children outside where everyone can blow off some steam. When the weather isn't so great or the camp location doesn't allow, indoor games are organised by the camp tutors.
Campers will keep following the course and working on their projects for the rest of the afternoon.
We often have multiple rooms to organise break-out group activities or have snacks away from equipment. We also have a dedicated lunch area for Fire Tech Camp students.
Course Overview
Led by our tech-loving instructors, you’ll create a home of the future using Artificial Intelligence (AI), programme an autonomous vehicle to avoid pedestrians and objects on the road, and use IBM Watson to build a series of AI models that can recognize a celebrity Twitter account based on their tweets. The possibilities are endless.
But this course does more than teach the fundamentals of AI. It also explores issues of computer bias, ethics and the moral dilemmas programmers face when using AI. This is the ideal course to spark interest in this important and dynamic technological field, and will inspire students to continue their learning journey in AI.
AI is becoming an integral part of our lives, evolving and developing faster than we think. It’s being used in medicine to spot cancer cells, courtrooms to help determine the risk of criminals reoffending, as well as in art to create new art from analyzing music from composers like Brahms. PwC estimates AI deployment will add $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030. Interested? We thought so!
