  • Widener Welcomes High School Students for AI Summer Camp

    Nearly 30 high school students representing schools across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware attended a two-day AI summer camp hosted by the Computer Science Department. 

    [The camp] is designed to offer hands-on experience in artificial intelligence and related technologies. Students will be able to understand the applications of AI and basic machine learning methods,” said Suk-Chung Yoon, associate dean of science.

    Led by computer science faculty, the students learned through demonstration, discussion and hands-on activities about AI ethics, using generative AI to build mobile apps and games, algorithms that simulate human reasoning through Large Language Models, identifying meaningful patterns in data and much more, all with the goal of exploring how AI works and how it is used in everyday life. 

    “By participating in the camp, I hope they will see how AI is shaping the future,” said Yoon.
