AI GAME INVENTORS – Designing Smart Fun

A perfect blend of coding, design, and imagination — where play meets purpose.

August 10-14, 2026  | Age 7-10

In AI Game Inventors, young learners step into the world of Artificial Intelligence and game design to explore how technology can make play more exciting and purposeful. Students will discover how AI “learns,” experiment with hands-on digital tools, and design their own AI-powered game that entertains and inspires — for example, teaching kindness, protecting nature, or building smart challenges. Through creativity, teamwork, and storytelling, children will develop early skills in design thinking, innovation, and digital confidence — all while having a blast creating their own “smart fun.”

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
  • Explain what Artificial Intelligence is and how it learns from data.
  • Identify examples of AI in games and everyday life.
  • Apply design-thinking principles to create engaging, purposeful games.
  • Prototype a simple AI-enhanced game using visual tools like Scratch.
  • Collaborate and share creative ideas effectively in a team.
  • Present their ideas clearly through visuals and storytelling.
Capstone Project: “My Smart Game”

Students design an AI-powered game that teaches or inspires others — blending technology, imagination, and purpose.

Examples:

  • EcoQuest – Sort virtual litter correctly; AI rewards smart recyclers.
  • SmileHero – Your smile moves the hero — stay positive to win!
  • MindMatch – Outsmart the AI by guessing what it’s thinking.
  • Music Maestro – Clap or hum to control the game with rhythm.
Why Parents Love It
  • Creative + Educational – Kids learn real tech by designing and inventing, not just playing.
  • AI Made Fun – Complex ideas like AI become exciting and age-appropriate through games and stories.
  • Confidence & Teamwork – Builds collaboration, communication, and creative confidence.
  • Future-Ready Thinking – Encourages problem-solving and an early entrepreneurial mindset.
  • Taught by expert TechSpark instructors who make technology engaging and ethical

AI STARTUP BUILDERS: From Idea to Impact

Inspiring young minds to dream big, think boldly, and lead with innovation.

August 17-20, 2026  | Age 7-10

In AI Startup Builders, kids become young entrepreneurs — turning their creative AI ideas into real-world startup concepts! Building on what they learned in AI Game Inventors, students discover how innovators use AI to solve everyday problems, help others, and make a difference.
Guided by TechSpark instructors, students identify a problem that matters to them, design an AI-powered product or service, create their own brand, and pitch their idea at our Startup Expo. It’s a hands-on introduction to entrepreneurship that builds confidence, teamwork, communication, and critical thinking — all while keeping innovation fun and imaginative.

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
  • Understand what entrepreneurs and startups do.
  • Identify meaningful problems and explore how AI can solve them.
  • Design and prototype an AI-based product or service.
  • Define their audience and explain the value of their idea.
  • Create simple branding (name, logo, and slogan).
  • Pitch their startup idea with confidence and clarity.
Capstone Project: “My AI Startup”

Teams develop and pitch an AI-powered product or service designed to help others — showcasing creativity, innovation, and an entrepreneurial mindset.

Example ideas:

  • PetPal AI – reminds kids to care for their pets
  • RecyclyBot – smart recycling bin that scans trash
  • SleepSmart Lamp – glows when it’s bedtime
  • EcoDetective – app that spots pollution from photos
