A hands-on AI workshop for curious kids in Sarasota. Small groups. Real tools. Taught by a Big Tech Customer Engineer & Pine View parent of two.
Reserve a SpotNo lectures. No worksheets. Every session is project-based — kids build something real using the same AI tools professionals use. They'll finish the week with a portfolio of projects they demo for parents on the last day.
Build an image classifier that recognizes objects, hand gestures, or faces — and learn why AI sometimes gets it wrong.
Learn to talk to AI effectively. Write prompts that get great results, and discover why bad prompts give bad answers.
Create images, stories, and code with generative AI. Understand what it's actually doing under the hood — not magic, math.
Use AI as a coding partner. Build apps, games, and tools with AI-assisted programming — the way real engineers work.
Investigate bias, test for mistakes, and learn when to trust AI — and when to push back. The most important skill of all.
Each 2.5-hour session follows the same rhythm: learn a concept, explore a tool, build something cool, share what you made.
An AI challenge or game to get brains firing. Can an AI guess your drawing? Can you spot the AI-generated image?
A short, interactive intro to the day's big idea — how AI sees, talks, learns, or creates — with live demos, not slides.
The main event. Kids work on hands-on projects — training models, writing prompts, building with code. With only 4–6 kids, everyone gets real attention.
Step away from screens. Recharge. Pre-packaged snacks provided.
Kids share what they built with the group. On Day 5, parents join for a showcase where every student demos their favorite project.
No hidden fees. AI compute costs, API tokens, snacks, and curriculum materials are all included. Just bring a laptop.
I'm a Customer Engineer at one of the big tech companies, working with some of the largest retail brands in the world. I completed my Master's in Software Engineering with a focus on AI in March 2026, and I also hold an Executive MBA. I have five kids — two at Pine View — and watching their excitement with AI inspired me to build this camp. I want to teach kids to use these tools thoughtfully, creatively, and critically.
Grades 3 through 12, with separate tracks by age group. Elementary students (3rd–5th) use visual, block-based tools. Middle schoolers build more complex projects with guided coding. High schoolers work with Python, real ML libraries, and professional AI tools.
No prior experience needed. The curriculum is designed so beginners learn from scratch, while kids with coding backgrounds get challenged with extensions and deeper projects. With only 4–6 kids, instruction adapts to each student.
Any laptop running Windows 10+, macOS 12+, or ChromeOS with Chrome browser will work. 8GB of RAM and an SSD are recommended. If you're unsure whether your child's laptop meets the requirements, just ask — happy to help.
Absolutely. All AI tools used have built-in content filters. For children under 13, generative AI tools are operated on a shared screen by the instructor while students contribute ideas verbally. All screens are visible at all times, and a clear AI use policy is shared with parents before camp starts. A signed consent form is required.
Sessions are held at a home studio in Osprey, FL — close to Pine View School. Exact address is shared upon registration.
Full refund if you cancel 7+ days before the session starts. 50% refund within 7 days. No refund for no-shows, but we'll work with you if something comes up.
This camp is built for curious, motivated kids — especially the ones who are used to finding things too easy. With only 4–6 students and an instructor who works with AI professionally, every student gets projects matched to their level. Gifted kids thrive here because the cap is higher, not lower.
Spots are limited to 4–6 kids per group. Drop your info and we'll reach out with available dates and next steps.
