About this event

    An immersive coding journey for ages 10+ powered by Cisco Networking Academy & Pennant Education

    Pennant Education invites your child to step into a world where they don’t just hear about AI — they explore how it works, where it’s used, and why it matters.

    In this thought-provoking and engaging summer camp, students become AI thinkers and future tech leaders, guided through real-life examples, interactive discussions, and ethical challenges that shape how machines see, learn, and decide.

    THE QUEST: 6 STEPS TO UNLOCK THE WORLD OF AI

    Each 1.5-hour session is a chapter of the quest, where students unlock new abilities and uncover the powers of AI:

    Week 1: Discovering AI — What It Is & Where It’s Found

    What is AI, really? Kids discover how machines "learn", recognize patterns, and respond to human input.

    Key Concept: Understanding the definition and real-world presence of AI

    Week 2: How AI Learns — From Data to Decisions

    They explore how data teaches machines to improve — and where that data comes from.

    Key Concept: Machine learning through data and feedback

    Week 3: Real-World AI — Uses, Careers & Consequences

    From smart cities to AI in healthcare and climate, kids examine how tech is shaping the future — and the risks it brings.

    Key Concept: The role of AI in modern industries and career pathways

    Final Session: Ethics, Bias & Future Thinking

    Understanding algorithmic bias and its real-world impact, exploring the ethical challenges of technologies like facial recognition, automation, and surveillance, and learning how to build a fair and responsible AI future.

    Key Concept: Ethical thinking and responsible technology use
