Our Legacy of Innovation
We are continuously evolving to bring students the most advanced tech experiences.
Here is a look back at how our camp has grown:
- 2024 (1st Edition): We launched our foundational camp using Raspberry Pi 5 microcomputers, introducing students to the world of edge computing and deploying local AI models with our custom "AI Buddy" powered by Ollama.
- 2025 (2nd Edition): We massively upgraded our hardware to the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano
Super. Every student had their own dedicated Jetson device in the lab.Custom Curriculum:
We designed and published a comprehensive, AI curriculum and developed a custom 窪圖勛蹋厙
Jetson Terminal Tool to help beginners easily navigate the hardware.
Industry Insights: We hosted exclusive guest lectures from industry leaders, including experts from Nvidia.
Inaugural Cyber-AI Challenge: Students competed in our first-ever hackathon featuring three distinct tracks: LLM Track, Smart City Vision Track, and CyberSecurity Track. Winners were awarded official certificates and Amazon Gift Cards!
