WHY FAMILIES LOVE THIS CAMP
I wanted Liza to do more than just “be on the computer” — I wanted her to understand how the world works. This camp was a great fit. She learned how AI works, why it can be biased, and even brought up ethical tech questions at the dinner table. Really valuable, especially with her growing interest in STEM.
We’ve tried a few online programs, but most felt like fluff. This was different. Nolan walked away actually understanding what powers smart assistants and recommendation systems. The discussion around ethical use of AI was particularly impactful. Highly recommend for curious teens.
I wasn’t sure if he’d fully grasp what AI is, but the instructor made everything so clear and age-appropriate that Timur not only understood it — he explained it to me! The camp used real-life examples, interactive tasks, and even encouraged debates. And the certificate from Cisco was a great bonus.
Sophia’s considering a future in Data Science, and this camp was the perfect entry point. It wasn’t code-heavy but gave her a strong grasp of how AI works and the challenges it brings. She especially enjoyed the discussion on algorithmic bias — she even used it in a school project afterward. Great content and engaging instruction.
