Discover the building blocks of artificial intelligence through hands-on play, creativity, and problem-solving at this interactive family event! Children and caregivers will explore how computers learn by recognizing patterns, following instructions, making predictions, and learning through trial and error.
Through engaging activities, families will discover that AI isn’t magic—it’s technology created by people. Kids will experiment with giving step-by-step instructions to a “robot,” train a pretend computer by sorting pictures into categories, explore how computers recognize images and solve pattern challenges.
Design the Future: STEM & Digital Engineering Preview Day is an immersive, hands on experience that introduces participants to core STEM and digital engineering concepts used in modern defense, technology, and engineering environments. The event highlights real world applications, encourages problem solving, and helps participants envision their pathway into STEM careers.
