AI summer camps, 2026
One to four weeks of building. In-person in Seattle, hybrid, or fully online — each camp ends with a project you demo to real mentors.
Four camps. One summer.
AI Discovery Camp
A first encounter with machine learning through games, robots, and storytelling. Campers train an image classifier before lunch on day one — no typing required.
- · No-code AI tools built for young learners
- · Daily hands-on robotics challenges
- · Family showcase on the final afternoon

- · Python fundamentals through to neural networks
- · Collect and label an original dataset
- · Deploy a live project on the final day

- · LangChain agents and tool-calling
- · Fine-tuning on a custom dataset
- · Direct prep for Hackathon 2026

Research Sprint
A guided sprint from research question to submitted short paper, with faculty mentors reviewing your methodology every week.
- · Literature review and problem framing
- · Original experiment with mentor review
- · Submission to a student AI venue

Camp questions, answered.
Online camps are free to attend. In-person camps in Seattle carry a materials fee, and need-based fee waivers are available — ask for one when you apply, no documentation gymnastics required.
Reserve a spot before cohorts fill.
Seattle in-person seats are limited. Online cohorts have more room — either way, tell us which camp fits.
