In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses: “MakeCode”

Campers will bring their games to life with custom animations, sound effects, and music, then enhance them using AI-generated images, characters, and voices. As they design challenges, code reactions, and fine-tune gameplay, students will develop logic, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

This camp turns coding into a playground for imagination, where every child becomes both a game designer and AI innovator.

What Children Would Learn
• Basic game design using Scratch’s block coding
• Key programming concepts like loops, variables, and conditionals
• How to animate characters with custom sounds and visuals
• How to use AI to create images, characters, and voices
• Logic and problem-solving through coding challenges
• How to build and refine their own interactive games

As they design, build, and test their own circuit models, students will work hands-on with essential electrical components, including resistors, switches, voltage sources, LEDs, jumper wires, and additional elements like conductors and insulators to understand how real electrical systems are engineered.

Students will also watch proprietary instructional videos, play Kahoot to reinforce key ideas, and participate in guided circuit-building sessions that bring every clean-tech concept to life. Through these activities, they will see not just what each component does but also understand it clearly.

What Children Would Learn
• Basics of clean technology like electric cars, windmills, and solar devices
• How series and parallel circuits work
• How current, load, and circuit behavior change in different setups
• How to build circuits using resistors, switches, LEDs, and wires
• How conductors and insulators affect electrical systems
• Clean-tech concepts reinforced through videos, on-line fun quizzes, and guided builds

With revolutionizing changes in the society and work environment driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), we believe technology education is not a choice but a necessity for every child.

In this class, children will learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), understanding their applications and how they differ from search engines. They’ll explore prompt engineering, discover methods for training ML models, and learn to create audio from text and animated videos from audio using AI. This course encourages innovation and creativity while providing a foundational understanding of AI/ML.

Students will use 3D printing pens to design interesting objects, parts, and artwork while learning about additive manufacturing technology, its pros and cons as compared to traditional manufacturing methods.

Attention will be drawn to key design considerations related to aesthetics, structural stability, materials optimization, aspect ratio, ease of use, and functionality.

Students will be given specific themes to create their own designs before actually making those by using a 3D pen.

What Children Would Learn
Difference between additive and subtractive manufacturing

Advantages and disadvantages of 3D printing over traditional manufacturing methods

Design considerations related to:-

Aesthetics

Structural Stability

Materials Optimization

Aspect Ratio

Ease of Use

Functionality

Students will discover robotics and will develop an understanding of key machine parts, basic programming concepts and scientific observations related to the functioning of machines.

In addition to mechanical robotic parts, students will also be using sensors, along with Scratch programming to make their robot achieve multiple tasks.

Students will work collaboratively on building models and then, will be encouraged to think innovatively as they will be presented with challenge exercises.

A final project presentation will provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate their learning.
