Our story

Founded in 2024, AICAMP is committed to advancing AI literacy for young people across Australia. We design future-focused AI education programs that help students understand AI concepts, think critically about their social and ethical implications, and apply AI creatively to investigate and solve real-world problems.

At the heart of our mission is a simple belief: the future value of a school lies not only in academic outcomes, but in its ability to recognise the different potentials and pathways of its students. Some students may become future founders, technologists, researchers, or innovators. Others will apply AI across fields such as health, law, education, business, design, science, policy, and the arts. Education should not push every student toward the same destination; it should help each student discover what they are capable of building, contributing, and becoming.

AICAMP also aims to nurture the next generation of young founders — students who are curious enough to question the world, brave enough to imagine something different, and capable enough to turn ideas into action. We want students to see AI not only as a tool for completing tasks, but as a medium for creativity, problem-solving, entrepreneurship, and social impact.

AICAMP brings together leading AI researchers, educators, and industry mentors from UNSW, the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, the University of Sydney, and global organisations including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and the University of Cambridge. This allows us to connect classroom learning with real-world AI innovation, research, and responsible practice.

We provide structured AI programs for Years 4–6 and Years 7–10, alongside AI literacy initiatives, school AI policy support, and professional development for teachers. By working with schools, we help build the knowledge, confidence, and responsible AI culture needed to prepare the next generation not only to adapt to the future, but to shape it.
