iCode differentiates itself by teaching students to intentionally and critically work with AI as a powerful tool, rather than just a shortcut, fostering real-world AI literacy and critical thinking.
The iCode of Wellesley's AI as a Tool camp teaches middle school students to leverage artificial intelligence in personal projects, fostering creativity and problem-solving. The curriculum emphasizes digital citizenship, ensuring students learn to be safe, respectful, and responsible online. Campers engage in hands-on activities, building real projects with instructor guidance and AI tools. They develop critical soft skills such as teamwork, communication, perseverance, and critical thinking while learning to use AI as a collaborative tool to solve real-world problems. The program also focuses on real-world AI literacy, where students learn how AI works, including machine learning, data training, and algorithmic decision-making, enabling them to critically evaluate AI outputs rather than accepting them at face value. Students will explore how AI can assist in optimizing code, improving project documentation, and prototyping ideas faster in game design and digital arts.
A typical day includes instructor-led lessons, hands-on activities, a one-hour Personal Project Lab where students create their own projects with AI tools, and outdoor activities to keep kids energized.
This camp is best for middle school students interested in understanding and utilizing AI as a practical tool for creative projects and problem-solving, while also developing essential digital citizenship and collaboration skills.
