From self-driving cars and humanoids to AI generated art and ChatGPT, AI is one of the fast growing areas in technology. What is AI? What are some of the cool things it can do? Join this event to learn about fun cutting-edge AI applications created by companies such as Google and Nvidia. Your child will enjoy lots of group discussion, interaction with an expert instructor, and hands-on projects.
We run this free event regularly, and the same content is covered every time. To explore AI deeper, join our small group courses:
AI Explorers (grades 4-9) - Enjoy a broad overview of a variety AI applications and technologies, such as computer vision, chatbots, robotics, and generative AI.
Create with ChatGPT (grades 4-7) - Learn how to use ChatGPT as a tool for planning, brainstorming, and even creating your own chatbot.
AI Creators (grades 6-12) - Take a deep dive into learning how to code AI applications with Python and more.
The Congressional App Challenge is the only official computer science competition hosted by the U.S. Congress (learn more).
We are very excited to invite Heng Ye, winner of Rep. Nick LaLota’s 2024 Congressional App Challenge in New York’s 1st District, to share his project and experience. His winning project, M7 Train Simulator at the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum, combines two of his favorite things: technology and trains. The fun, interactive experience allows museum visitors of all ages to feel the excitement of driving a train and helps preserve railroad history.
In addition to the Congressional App Challenge, Heng has also won several competitions and hackathons. He has been accepted to MIT and will be starting there this fall.
Join us to learn tips on pursuing your own passion—and winning the Congressional App Challenge.
They are in your phone, and they are in your car. They light up your house, and they run roller coasters. What are they? They're electronic circuits and they're everywhere!
In this fun free online event series, your child will learn the basics of electronic circuits using Snap Circuits. We will build several fun projects each time, while learning what a circuit is, how circuits work, and how to add more parts in a circuit to make sounds, light, and more! They will also learn sensors and advanced content such as integrated circuits.
"I really love this fun and interactive event. Me and my classmates had a blast sharing with each other and talking about how things work. The teacher was amazing and he helped me out so much. When a person was stuck on something he would help us out." shared our student Pavel.
