Beaver County Radio- The Aliquippa Clubhouse with the Boys and Girls Club of Western Pennsylvania is conducting Summer Camp for 26 students in grades K-8 for 9 weeks. According to a news release, the camp is focused on  providing engaging activities  that support summer learning and unique experiences. The field trips include: Carnegie Science Center, the Children’s museum, the Cinemark Movie Theater, the greater Pittsburgh Sports Complex, the Pittsburgh Zoo and the Razzaine. The camp hosted  Vision to Learn and  UPMC’s Mobile Care Clinic to provide wellness support. Students are bussed to and from the program daily.

Sixteen students ages fourteen through eighteen are registered in the Artificial Intelligence Pathways Institute.

The program culminated with a hands- on project where they presented how AI can be a tool to address a community challenge.

Chris Watts, President and CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania, said all this wouldn’t have been possible without the tremendous support of the Greater Aliquippa Advisory Committee. Watts said the committee provided partnerships, connections, funding, and insights on the formation and strategy for the club.
