The Blue Whale AI Academy by Cyber Gear, has launched an AI Introductory Summer Camp for 5-12-year-olds.
According to Sharad Agarwal, CEO of Cyber Gear, “We believe that young children should learn about AI because it prepares them for a future where artificial intelligence will be deeply integrated into everyday life.”
It is imperative to prepare children for the ‘AI-First’ world.
- Digital literacy and future-readiness: AI is becoming as foundational as reading or math. Understanding basic AI concepts gives kids the tools to navigate and shape the digital world, rather than just consume it.
- Critical thinking and problem-solving: Learning AI introduces kids to logic, pattern recognition, and cause-and-effect thinking, which are key components of computational thinking.
- Creativity and innovation: With tools like generative AI, kids can create art, music, stories, and even simple games, fostering creative confidence.
- Ethical awareness: Teaching AI early can help children understand the ethical implications, like fairness, bias, and privacy, encouraging responsible tech use.
- Career and economic opportunity: As AI transforms industries, early exposure gives students a head start on skills that will be in high demand in their future careers.
Highlights of Summer Camp:
- Understand what AI is and how it’s used in daily life
- Learn to talk to AI safely and responsibly
- Discover how to check if AI responses are right or wrong
- Play with cool, child-friendly AI tools
