2026 AI Play Summer Day Camp by Elon University

Camp Description: Join us for a week-long day camp in July (Monday - Friday) for rising 6th to 8th graders interested in the world of artificial intelligence and digital game design.

Registration is now open for 'AI Play' set for July 20th - 24th at Queens University of Charlotte. Students will participate in hands-on activities led by Elon University faculty from the Department of Computer Science, in collaboration with Queens University staff and students.

Scheduled daily from 8:45 a.m. - 3:30 p.m., 'AI Play' invites curious middle school students to explore the fundamentals of artificial intelligence while building confidence in operating, designing, and creating with emerging technologies.

Each day of the camp will focus on a different AI principle, allowing students to play, create, and develop their own projects and gain experience with AI concepts. Students will learn how robots interpret their environment with a robot relay, how AI systems make choices by classifying candy, the ethics of using AI and more.
