New Orleans kids learn how to create rock, paper, scissors game using AI

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — This summer, Chevron and STEM NOLA partnered to host an AI summer camp.

Students used cutting edge tools to learn how create their own AI applications.

10-year-old Julia Dean loves playing games like rock, paper, scissors, but now she’s learning how to create an AI version of the game.

She’s also learning how to create AI emojis.

“We put our hand up, and the AI shows you how confident it is that it is a hand or not,” she said.

Julia’s learning all about AI at STEM NOLA’s summer camp at Xavier University.

“I don’t think students should be afraid of technology, but they should be knowledgeable about it, so they can take advantage of opportunities presented to them,” Barry McGuire, Technology Coordinator for STEM NOLA said.

“I was talking to my dad and he told me that he loves learning about AI because in the 1980’s people were scared of the internet because it was so new, and my dad said it’s either learn more about AI or be afraid of it,” Dean said.

No fear here for Julia.
