InnovateAI™ SUMMER CAMP

Your Child's Future Is Being Written in AI. Will They Be Ready?
By 2026, 90% of all online content will be created or influenced by artificial intelligence.
The students who understand AI won't just use technology. They'll lead it. The ones who don't will spend their careers working for the ones who do.
The InnovateAI™ Summer Camp gives your child a head start that most kids won't get until college. If they get it at all.
Real instruction. Real projects. A real college campus experience that shows your child what's possible for their future.
Space is limited. Join the interest list now to be the first to know when registration opens.
Why This Camp Matters Right Now
AI is already here. It's writing content, building businesses, diagnosing patients and creating careers that didn't exist five years ago.
The question isn't whether your child will encounter AI. It's whether they'll know how to use it, question it and create with it.
Most schools aren't there yet. This camp is.
What Your Child Will Walk Away With
Your child won't just learn about AI. They'll use it.
Campers will gain hands-on knowledge of machine learning, training data, prompts and digital ethics.
They'll use AI as a creative tool for storytelling, idea generation and problem-solving.
They'll collaborate with peers to build real AI-powered projects.
And on the final day, they'll present their work to peers, family and friends in a closing-day showcase that lets you see exactly what they built.
Four days of doing.
A Real College Campus Experience
Your child will live and learn on the Gordon State College campus for three nights.
That means dorm life, meals in the campus cafeteria, a campus tour and the kind of independence that comes from spending days somewhere bigger than their everyday world.
For many students, this will be their first time on a college campus. And that experience alone can change the way they see their future.
Your child's safety is our priority. All residential activities are supervised and governed by Gordon State College's Policy and Programs for Minors on Campus under the University System of Georgia. A full Junior Highlander Parental Handbook with processes, procedures and medical information will be provided upon registration.
What's Included
Everything your child needs for four days and three nights is covered. On-campus housing, all meals, AI instruction and hands-on curriculum, project materials, supervised residential activities, a campus tour, fun activities and a closing-day showcase experience. You drop them off. We handle the rest.
A limited number of sponsored spots are available for families who need financial support. Details will be shared at the Parent Information Night.

FAQ – What Will My Child Learn?
Your child will leave with a working knowledge of AI and real projects they created themselves. They'll understand how AI actually works, including machine learning, prompts, and training data. They'll learn how to use AI responsibly for research and schoolwork. And they’ll create real content like children's books and social media avatars using AI tools.
What we’ll teach reaches beyond classroom skills. In fact, kids are already using these same tools to create and sell books, design digital products and build content online. If your child wants to explore turning their creativity into a little extra income, they’ll leave this camp knowing how. Some of our students may even cover the cost of next year’s camp themselves.

FAQ – What Will My Child Do in the Evenings?
After dinner, students will have time to rest and recharge before returning to work on group projects. Evening project time will range from 1-3 hours depending on the day.
The first night will be a bit longer as students brainstorm and develop their project ideas. The following nights will focus on building their projects and preparing for the closing-day showcase. All evening activities are supervised, and students will have access to the computer lab for project work.
