About this workshop
Our March workshop moves students from learning about Artificial Intelligence to actively building with it. Participants transform their trained AI models and design blueprints into real, working creations, experiencing firsthand how AI powers games, apps, and conversations. It’s an exciting step from theory to hands-on innovation.
In the Beginner Track, students turn their emotion-recognition AI models into interactive game controllers, building a dynamic Scratch game where their own facial expressions control what happens on screen, imagine smiling to make a character jump or reacting to trigger new movements. They see how AI vision connects directly to code in real time. Meanwhile, in the Advanced Track, students transform their chatbot ideas into fully functional Python programs. They write the logic that allows their chatbot to greet users, understand input, make decisions using conditionals, and carry on multi-topic conversations, just like real AI assistants. This is where ideas evolve into intelligent systems built entirely by the students themselves.
This workshop is FREE, and all learning materials are provided, students simply need to bring their curiosity and readiness to build.
This is where creativity meets code. Students combine their trained AI emotion models with Scratch programming to build their first interactive, AI-powered game. Using a visual, block-based coding environment, learners create a “Smile to Jump” game where facial expressions control gameplay, smiling makes the character jump!
The session follows a complete-build approach, ensuring every student leaves with a fully playable game built from start to finish.
Students translate their chatbot blueprints into real, working programs using Python. Through hands-on coding in Replit, learners build conversational chatbots that can listen to user input, process it, and respond intelligently.
The workshop introduces essential Python concepts including variables, input/output, conditionals (if, elif, else), and loops. By the end of the session, every student will have a chatbot capable of handling multiple conversation topics.
