From self-driving cars, humanoids to AI generated art and ChatGPT, AI is one of the fast growing areas in technology. What is AI? What are some of the cool things it can do? Join this event to learn fun cutting-edge AI applications created by companies like Google and Nvidia. Your child will enjoy lots of group discussions, interaction with the instructor, and hands-on projects.

We run this free event regularly and the same content is covered every time. To explore deeper about AI, checkout our small group courses:

• AI Explorers (grades 4 - 9) - a broad overview of a variety AI applications and technologies, such as computer vision, Chatbot, robotics, and generative AI.

• Create with ChatGPT - (grades 4 -7) - learn how to use ChatGPT as a tool for panning, brainstorming, and creating your own chatbot.

• AI Creators (grades 6-12) - deep dive to learn how to code AI applications covering in Python.

They are in your phone, and they are in your car. They light up your house, and they run roller coasters. What are they? They're electronic circuits and they're everywhere!

In this fun free online event series, your child will learn the basics of electronic circuits using Snap Circuits. We will build several fun projects each time, while learning what a circuit is, how circuits work, and how to add more parts in a circuit to make sounds, light, and more! They will also learn sensors and advanced content such as integrated circuits.

"I really love this fun and interactive event. Me and my classmates had a blast sharing with each other and talking about how things work. The teacher was amazing and he helped me out so much. When a person was stuck on something he would help us out." shared our student Pavel.

Does your child love space and science? This amazing 1-hour free event will introduce students to the exciting world of NASA’s Citizen Science and how they can contribute too! Join us as Heather Hewitt, an Astrophysics PhD candidate at Arizona State University with a BS in Astrophysics from the University of Georgia, and teenager Sophie Saibi take you on an incredible journey through the stars.

Heather, an Astrophysics PhD candidate at Arizona State University, will share her passion for making astronomy accessible to everyone. She’ll introduce you to fun and engaging Citizen Science projects like Exoplanet Watch and DIY Planet Search, where you can help discover new planets!

Sophie, a rising sophomore in the San Francisco Bay Area, has been interested in astronomy since 7th grade, when she first heard about the James Webb Space telescope. She became a member of the UNITE Citizen Science community in 2023. One of her most exciting contributions is collecting measurements of the SN2023ixf supernova that appeared last year in the Pinwheel Galaxy.

Get ready for a space adventure that will inspire and excite your budding scientist!

The world is changing: record-breaking heat waves, widespread drought, intense hurricanes, and the accompanying disappearance of habitats for animals on land, in rivers, and in oceans. Encourage your student to enter our Code for Nature challenge, and apply what they have learned to raise awareness, protect the environment, help those affected by environmental change, and potentially solve environmental issues. Submit your project by August 25th for a chance to be one of 10 winners to win a $15 Amazon gift card!

To help students create their projects, we are hosting a series of free live online events led by an expert:

• July 20th at 11 am PT: Introduction to the challenge, collecting data, and identifying local environmental issues you're passionate about

• July 26th at 5:00 pm PT: Defining project ideas for the issues you've identified
