Overview of Content Delivery
The theme of the summer camp is “Xploring Intelligence – A Bootcamp on Us and Tech” where the main idea is to ask a series of questions which guide the contents of the course:

“What is technology?”

“What is ‘human’ and ‘natural’ versus ‘artificial’?”

“How do we use technology to help us reach our goals?”

“Are there limits to technology?”

“What can go wrong?”

The camp is based on five half days, with each day consisting of two sessions: one theoretical and one practical. Each day will build on the previous one, leading the children to reflect more deeply on technology while at the same time building more complex mobile apps.

Throughout the week, students will learn more about:

Ethics of Deepfake Media;

Machine Learning;

Ethics of Machines;

Security;

Building their own Mobile Application;

Metaverse.
