2023 High School Winter Camp - Selected AI Programming Winter Camp - AI4kids

Since the implementation of the 108 curriculum, in addition to academic tests and subject examinations, "learning history" is now used as an indicator for university applications, allowing students to better evaluate their personal inclinations and future directions from their experience, and use it as a basis for future school and department selection. The Ministry of Education promotes the learning process because it hopes that children will not only study hard, but also participate in extracurricular activities, such as off-campus competitions, off-campus volunteer work, license examinations, academic studies, summer camps, and winter camps.

Now that the holidays are approaching, we have integrated AI-themed camp activities from key universities , such as the National Taiwan University Camp, National Tsing Hua University Camp, National Chiao Tung University Camp, etc., as well as Python online learning courses, so that junior and senior high school students can not only experience academic practices in different fields during the holidays, but also make new friends through activities and enrich their holiday life.

  What benefits would it have on college applications to attend a camp or winter/summer camp?

  1. Can be included in the learning process

  Taking camps or online courses can accumulate your learning experience, but it is not a plus. So it is not necessary for you to participate in many types of camps. It is recommended that you focus on the direction in which you want to develop in the future. Suppose you want to be a doctor in the future and want to study medicine. You have participated in a medical camp at a key university during high school, and you can fully express your motivation and experience at that time. This sounds convincing!

  2. Find out whether you like this field and find your future life direction

  As mentioned before, after a short camp experience and exploration, you can confirm whether you really like this field. If you are sure that this is not the direction you want to go, it doesn’t matter; at least we have avoided a detour. After trying many ways, you will always find the direction that you like and suits you!

  3. Improve interpersonal relationships, cultivate teamwork and leadership skills

  In addition to learning academic courses and practical experience, participating in the camp also allows students to learn how to get along with their peers and develop their leadership and teamwork skills. In addition, there are fellow students of the same age from all over Taiwan in the camp, and through activities, they can also meet elite friends from all over Taiwan! After you have participated in various camps, you can feel each person's unique personality, understand how to get along with people with different personalities; and learn from each other through academic exchanges!

  Summarize

  The above recommended AI artificial intelligence camps with various themes and the extended recommended online Python learning courses also let everyone know the benefits of participating in the camp, which can not only cultivate one's own abilities, but also establish one's future development direction! I hope you all have a fulfilling holiday. If you see a camp or online course that interests you, please click on the relevant information to sign up!
