The Department of Computing and Information Technology at The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, is proud to present the AI-Builders Boot Camp, starting from July 21–28, 2025. Designed specifically for secondary school students in Forms 4, 5, and 6, this engaging and accessible program requires no prior coding experience. Over five days of interactive online learning and a final face-to-face hands-on showcase, students will gain practical exposure to cutting-edge technologies including OpenAI, TensorFlow, Firebase, Unity, and Google Colab. Through live sessions, project-based learning, and mentorship, the camp offers a fun and challenging environment for students to unlock their potential as next-generation AI innovators.

The 2025 AI-Builders Boot Camp invites young minds to embark on an exciting journey where creativity meets technology. Centered around the theme of "Empowering Tomorrow’s Innovators: From Curiosity to Creation with AI", the camp challenges students to move beyond curiosity and step confidently into the world of artificial intelligence. Whether designing intelligent web apps, exploring generative AI in gaming, or making sense of data through interactive visualizations, students will harness real-world tools in guided sessions that mirror industry practices. With support from alumni mentors and exposure to AI-driven innovation, participants will leave not just with new skills—but with the vision and confidence to shape the future.
