AI Workshop (For participants aged 12 and above)

Racing Game

Led by Prof. Ben Chan, Associate Director of Academy for Bright Future Young Engineers 


This intensive workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the exciting intersection of game development and artificial intelligence. Students will dive directly into Unreal Engine to build a complete racing game from the ground up. You will learn to use AI-assisted tools to design and model a unique 3D race car, and then bring it to life by training a "digital driver" using the powerful Learning Agents plugin. The course will cover fundamental concepts of reinforcement learning and imitation learning, where you will define the rules and rewards that shape your AI's decision-making process.

Led by Prof. Tim Woo, Associate Director of Academy for Bright Future Young Engineers 


Participants enjoy hands-on fun by creating their own STEAM DIY projects and taking home a piece of innovation. Kids can team up with their parents to explore creativity and enjoy the joy of making together. 
 

Climbing Robot Workshop and Games
