Program Description: The Gator Artificial Intelligence (AI) Camp is a one-week residential program for rising 10th and 11th grade students interested in learning about AI and the ways it is rapidly changing society, research, and the global economy. Gator AI Camp participants meet and learn from UF faculty in a range of social and physical science disciplines, as well as university staff with expertise in emerging technologies.

Students will also learn the basics of programming and using AI tools to solve problems and create digital objects. The Gator AI Camp includes tours of campus laboratories for a close-up view of a world-leading research environment. Gator AI Camp participants also tour the UF Data Center, home to HiPerGator, one of the premier supercomputing and AI facilities in the country.
