MehtA+ AI in Visual Arts Camp
MehtA+ AI in Visual Arts Camp is held virtually, every summer for 6th-12th graders (ages 11-18) located anywhere in the world with a passion for art and who are curious about the applications of AI in art. Students are introduced to AI and participate in a mock art + AI startup pitch session with like-minded individuals under the guidance of alumni of prestigious universities. Students will join the AI art revolution by creating and curating their own AI + Art Galleries. Towards the end of the camp, students will also be participating in the 100K MehtA+ Money Startup Pitch Competition where they will pitch startup ideas related to AI + Visual Arts. Students who successfully complete the camp will receive a certificate.

[hide]Camp Description
MehtA+ AI in Visual Arts Camp will be taught by MIT and Stanford alumni who have worked on award-winning research in the arts and machine learning. There are two versions of this course – the self-paced course is offered year-round and involves instructor grading of the pitch. The live course is offered a couple of times during the year during the spring and summer.
In the live course, students will work closely in teams of 3-4 to prepare a pitch for a mock AI+art startup that they will present on the final day of the camp.
This one-week camp is focused on learning complex AI visual art theory and working with existing AI art tools. As such, students will not be expected to code in this camp. If you are looking for a mathematically and coding-intensive AI camp, please check out MehtA+ AI/Machine Learning Bootcamp.

Daily Schedule
This is an asynchronous camp so students will watch the lectures on their own time and then work on group projects with their peers and instructors during class time.
In order to provide students with some flexibility over their spring break and vacation plans, students will be assigned ~1 hr of course work per week that they should be completing outside of camp meeting hours.
Course work will be made available to students prior to the camp start date so students can get a head start, if needed. Instructors will be responding to any questions about course work over Slack.
During camp hours, students will be collaborating with their peers on group projects. On the last day of camp, students will be presenting their AI+Visual Arts startup pitches to judges.
Syllabus
Sure, you may have heard about Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Spielberg. But, have you heard about DALL-E 3?
Explore the application of AI to various visual art fields such as drawing, painting, fashion, sculpture, film in this virtual camp for 6th – 12th graders, under the tutelage of MIT & Stanford engineers. Students will be learning how various AI models and concepts – Convolutional Neural Networks, Variational Autoencoders, Generative Adversarial Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, Transformers and Dimensional Reduction – work in the context of the visual art domain.
