These spring school holidays, Edgyx invites your child to experience a uniquely innovative and creative STEM camp experience like no other!

Choose from three fun educational and team-based STEM camps that will ignite your child's creative and scientific imagination!

NEW: AI Chat Programs For Children - All Ages

Help your child to safely discover AI & Chat CPT! This program has been designed to allow children of all ages to have great fun learning how to use Chat CPT competently and safely - as there are many dangers with this new technology and what it can do.

For the uninitiated, ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that answers questions you ask of it, using the knowledge it has acquired from both the internet and human interaction. AI chatbots such as ChatGPT can answer simple and complex questions alike, though not always with 100% accuracy.

ChatGPT is a groundbreaking AI tool that school-aged children can access and have fun with. Sure, kids can use it to ask for jokes or unleash their creativity, but it can also help with interactive learning, teaching them to write code and debug, summarise books and articles, generate content like essays and letters, and translate from one language to another.

Why your child should learn AI Chat GPT:

AI Chat GPT is a FREE Tutor and is always available. Not to do homework for them but rather as a crutch that helps them learn. There are many ways they can use it as follows: to create Outlines/History lessons/Foreign languages/STEM learning and help with understanding Maths problems.

AI Chat GPT can always answer your kids' questions or at least attempt to. But we look at applying a critical eye also.

AI Chat GPT Can help kids learn to communicate and practice communication skills.

Kids can use AI Chat GPT to have fun and play games by generating quizzes/riddles or word games

Safety & Security:

Even if playing games within ChatGPT is safer than accessing random websites online, it's important for kids to learn what kinds of things they share with ChatGPT could pose security issues.

As with anything online, we will teach your children not to share any personal or private information about themselves, their home, or those around them. Kids aren't always aware of the dangers of sharing information that they might find innocuous, such as their home address or full name, so we will use this opportunity to teach some ground rules for internet use in general and also be clear about the limitations of ChatGPT and the accuracy of its answers where appropriate.

We will also show how to prompt ChatGPT to reply in a kid-friendly manner with something like: "Going forward, only use kid-friendly language."

We are excited about delivering this program and hope that you might join us in the spring school holidays.
