What will the world look like in 5000 days?
When children grow up, and AI is in full swing, what careers should they choose?
As the official camp of the event and one of the co-organisers, Ardingly College Zhongshan has joined forces with CODEMAO, a well-known programming brand for children in China, to launch a 7-day AIGC summer camp for the Greater Bay Area families this summer!
The first AIGC Summer camp, which just ended, attracted nearly 100 Chinese new generations, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, etc., to come one after another; they are experiencing the era of cutting-edge AIGC technology at the same time, but also based on what they have learnt to compete for the technology and innovation opportunities in the future world!
Discovering AIGC Talents with the
Future and Innovation as the Backdrop
ACZS is a future school with science and technology cultivation at its core and also serves as the UNESCO/CODEMAO Youth Coding Initiative. In this AIGC summer camp, the school continues to give full play to its robust technological features; in addition to providing students with a first-class environment (including AI robots, AI software, intelligent teaching aids, etc.), it is also a full co-operation with CODEMAO, to create event highlights such as "Experience the World's MostPopular Generative AI Tool", "Harvard University and UNESCO's Philosophy of Education Sharing", to explore the AIGC talents of the new era jointly.
With the love of AIGC and the desire for the future world, the contestants from all over the globe spent seven days learning and experiencing cutting-edge AIGC tools, including MaoChat, Midjourney, etc. They built a vivid "Future World Exhibition Hall" by combining graphical/Python and the magical Box3.Fun developed by CODEMAO.
