"Fire Tech breaks down the learning into clear goals and it is definitely easier to learn this with a tutor than by yourself. It was awesome turning random collections of data into clear data packages"

Machine Learning and A.I for kids
Artificial Intelligence is the hottest topic in tech. Learners will build A.I. 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 A.I.
Course highlights
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) in the world today
Learn how Artificial Intelligence 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 Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) 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 Artificial Intelligence 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 (A.I.), 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 Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). It also explores issues of computer bias, ethics and the moral dilemmas programmers face when using A.I. 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 Artificial Intelligence (A.I.).
A.I. 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 re offending, as well as in art to create new art from analyzing music from composers like Brahms. PwC estimates A.I. deployment will add $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030. Interested? We thought so!
