The world of technology is abuzz with the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Saint Lucia is no exception. This summer, a group of lucky students aged 13 to 18 will have the opportunity to participate in a four-week Generative AI and Python Camp 2024, hosted by Orbtronics in collaboration with the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), TaiwanICDF, and the Ministry of Education.
The camp, which will run from July 8 to August 8, 2024, aims to equip students with practical AI and coding experiences, introducing them to the world of STEM fields and their potential future careers. Participants will learn teamwork and effective collaboration, apply AI concepts to develop functional chatbots, and enjoy an interactive, social environment while making new friends and having fun.

Mr. Simon Chen, ICT Project Manager from the Taiwan Technical Mission, will also be a lecturer, guiding students in the field of AI Financial Technology.
The integration of technology education and Generative AI will undoubtedly unlock new possibilities and drive innovation. For instance, Generative AI can revolutionize daily life in numerous ways, such as helping farmers predict the best time to plant and harvest crops, assisting doctors in medical diagnoses, and creating personalized learning experiences for students.
