Starting now, BAIKE will organize AI Awareness workshops for kids in the AI Innovation Center. On April 4th, a group of middle school students visited the High Tech Campus to immerse in the technologies of the future. The morning was spent at the AI Innovation Center where the students experienced what AI is and how it works. Afterwards they visited the 5G Hub, where they were inspired by innovative demos. 

The initiators of BAIKE, Gareth Thomas, co-founder of VersionBay and Shujohn Ahmed, Vice President of Financial Services at CGI, met last year during a brainstorming session organized at the AI Innovation Center to kick-off the AI community. During this session, Gareth and Shujohn joined the AI for Good Circle and decided to launch BAIKE in order to create awareness of the impact of AI for our future generations.

The concept of BAIKE aims to leverage the passion and brainpower of the over 12,000 engineers and scientists on the High Tech Campus and organize multilingual workshops and awareness workshops in the AI Innovation Center for kids between 11 and 13 years of age. So far 15 schools from the region have signed up and almost thousand kids are on the waiting list.

Want to join?  
Gareth and Shujohn plan to continue organizing BAIKE sessions and invite students from all over the region to come to AI Innovation Center and interactively learn what AI is, its relevance, and how much fun it can be!
