Improving and Debugging Projects

About this workshop

Our April workshop takes students beyond building AI projects into the next critical stage of innovation: improving, refining, and scaling intelligent systems. This is where learners experience how real developers work, testing, debugging, and enhancing their creations to make them more accurate, creative, and reliable.

Participants revisit the AI systems they built in March and transform them into more polished, production-ready solutions. It’s an exciting shift from “it works” to “it works better, smarter, and more creatively.”

In the Beginner Track, students upgrade their AI-powered Scratch games by identifying and fixing bugs, then enhancing their projects with sounds, scoring systems, costumes, and clear win/lose conditions. They learn how small improvements can dramatically elevate a user experience.

In the Advanced Track, students take their Python chatbots to the next level by introducing multi-turn conversations, memory, and branching dialogue paths. Their chatbots evolve from simple responders into more intelligent systems capable of holding richer, more human-like interactions.

This workshop reinforces an important lesson: great technology is built through iteration, not perfection.

This workshop is FREE, and all learning materials are provided, students simply need to bring curiosity and a willingness to improve and innovate.
