Exploring Artificial Intelligence

This program is designed for students entering 1st-3rd grade in the 2022-2023 academic year. If your student participated in AI + Me or Exploring AI in Summer 2021, please note that the curriculum is the same as the 2021 program.

This program runs from 9:00 a.m. - Noon daily.

This program will give students the opportunity to learn through hands on “unplugged” lessons & lessons using our Artificial Intelligence robots. Students will explore the idea that a computer can “think” by perceiving and reasoning. They will develop an understanding of Facial Recognition and basic coding. Learning will take place through playing and analyzing games and building ideas with their teammates.

If you would like to use a payment plan to enroll in this program, please contact [email protected] for a code to use in Eventbrite and details for making remaining payments

A 20% downpayment will show for the ticket fee once the code is applied. By default, your payment plan will be set to monthly payments between your registration date and the program start date. All registration fees must be paid in full before the start date of camp.

All summer programs (except Catalyst for Future Success) use a common scholarship application located here.

Applications are due March 25th and families will be notified the week of April 4th with scholarship decisions.

Are masks required for attendees?

We will be sending updated policies to all families closer to the start of your specific program. As of January 2022, the University is still under a full mask mandate for all individuals, regardless of vaccination status. Our hope is that restrictions will lighten as we get closer to summer, but at this time, all families registering for our programs should plan for masks to be required for all attendees.

Any individuals who arrive to a program and indicate an attendee cannot wear a mask (if masks are required at the start of the program) will not be able to be permitted to attend the program. A refund will not be issued for this instance as all safety procedures have been clearly communicated in advance for programs.

May I drop my student off from the street / sidewalk near the Center?

Families should walk-in to check-in their students at our front desk. Students cannot be dropped off more than 15 minutes before program start and must be picked up within 15 minutes of the program end time. Students are not in the care of MSOE until this time window AND until they are in our facility.

How do I get to your facility?

We are located at 1444 N Water Street on the MSOE campus. A map and parking information will be sent to all families at least two weeks prior to your program start date.

Can I sit with or watch my student in your program?

During summer programs, the Center will not have available space for parents and guardians to wait for their student. Families should plan to drop off their student and return during the pick-up window.

My student is an advanced learner - should I enroll them in a higher grade level program?

Please enroll your student in the grade level program that corresponds with their current grade. All of our programs have variations and elements we can add and redact to make an activity more challenging or easier to accomodate a spectrum of learners.

My student has accomodations that need to be made - who do I contact?

Please e-mail [email protected] if your student has any physical, mental or emotional accomodations that our team should be aware of prior to the program to help us ensure your student has a great experience at MSOE!
