Imagine children evolving from mere consumers of digital games to becoming creators who build their own virtual worlds through code. The Sentinel AI Winter Camp offers precisely this transformation, turning young participants from game players into game developers, and from AI users into AI application creators.
Designed for youth aged 8-16, this program provides a systematic, engaging, and practical introduction to AI programming, equipping participants with valuable skills for the AI era.
Program Overview
This project-oriented winter camp eliminates the need for memorizing complex code. Over seven days, participants complete exciting AI application projects while learning fundamental concepts spanning front-end development, back-end systems, and databases. The curriculum progresses from basic to advanced levels, making it accessible even for absolute beginners.
Conducted via Tencent Meeting with real-time Q&A and WeChat group interactions, the program includes unlimited session replays to reinforce learning.
