Back to the pueblo, with a hackathon

The camp that started it all is back

AI Kids Club started as a camp I ran for my own kids in a pueblo in León. They wouldn't let it go, and it grew into a program. The July camp is now full; fall weekly classes are next.

The zoo that named itself

A class built an image together: animals, a hamster with a pipe, then a whole zoo. ChatGPT named it Brian's Zoo on its own. Then the kids renamed it. A lesson in who's really directing.
