The Lakota AI Camp has returned for a second year, from June 11-30, to bring Indigenous teens to the Black Hills for a three-week AI crash course camp while simultaneously learning Lakota culture and language. Over the second week, Indigenous language researchers visited the camp to teach students about their learning and experience. By the end of the first week, students create a prediction-based AI which they used this year to predict movie revenue. “They surprise us all the time, honestly.”In the final week, students combine everything that they have learned to create an app that helps them speak Lakota. On the last day of the camp, students demonstrate what they’ve learned to community members and their families.
