AI Innovators Lab Projects

This page provides beginner-friendly artificial intelligence and machine learning projects for camp students. Each project includes a problem statement, dataset link, and a Google Colab notebook link. Students may choose one project, follow the guided notebook, customize examples, and prepare a short presentation for the showcase.

          How students should use this page:
          Choose one project with your team, open the Google Colab notebook, run the code step by step,
          change a few parameters, test your own example, and prepare a short explanation of what your AI model does.
          The goal is simple: “I built an AI model.”
        

Available Projects

Projects are selected to be visual, engaging, and achievable within the short camp schedule. Google Colab notebook links can be added after each notebook is uploaded.
