Overview
No coding or technical background is required, only curiosity. Over five days on the Quinnipiac University campus, campers will develop a clear understanding of what AI is, how it works at a conceptual level and why it matters. They will test today's leading tools through hands-on activities and apply them in fields such as health care, media, business, sports and the arts. Team challenges and creative studio sessions will help students sharpen their prompting skills, evaluate AI outputs with a critical eye, and create original projects that combine human creativity with machine capabilities.
Ethics, responsible use and academic integrity are woven throughout the program, with structured discussions on bias, privacy, misinformation and authenticity. Students will leave with practical AI skills, a portfolio of creative and applied work, and the confidence to make informed decisions about technology in college, careers and everyday life.
The camp is led by Quinnipiac faculty member John Powers, whose professional experience spans communications, digital media, healthcare, secondary education and higher education.
