AI & Technology School Weeks: Preparing Students for the Future

How our AI & Tech school weeks combine hands-on technology workshops with outdoor adventure — including our partnership with Future Kids.

January 22nd, 20264 min read

Technology Meets the Alps

What happens when you combine coding workshops with mountain hikes? Something remarkable: students who engage with technology in an inspiring natural environment learn more deeply and retain more.

Our AI & Technology Programme

Morning: Tech Workshops

  • **Introduction to AI** — What it is, how it works, and how to use it responsibly
  • **Prompt Engineering** — Learning to communicate effectively with AI tools
  • **Digital Storytelling** — Creating multimedia projects with AI assistance
  • **Data & Ethics** — Understanding the implications of technology in society

Afternoon: Outdoor Adventure

  • Hiking, nature exploration, and team challenges
  • Applying tech concepts in nature (GPS navigation, nature photography, data collection)
  • Disconnecting to reconnect — the importance of balance

Evening: Reflection & Sharing

  • Presenting daily projects to the group
  • Collaborative problem-solving sessions
  • Campfire conversations about technology and the future

Computer Camps by Future Kids

In partnership with **Future Kids**, we offer specialised computer camps:

  • **Programming** — Scratch, Python, or web development basics
  • **Robotics** — Building and programming robots
  • **Game Design** — Creating games from concept to playable prototype
  • **3D Modelling** — Designing and (where possible) 3D printing

These workshops are adapted for different age groups and experience levels.

Why Outdoors + Tech Works

Research shows that:

  • **Nature breaks** between focused tech sessions improve retention by 40%
  • **Physical activity** enhances creative problem-solving
  • **Real-world context** makes abstract tech concepts tangible

What Students Create

In just one week, students have built:

  • AI-powered chatbots for their school
  • Data visualisations of local weather patterns
  • Short films edited with AI tools
  • Simple games inspired by their Alpine surroundings

For Teachers: Curriculum Alignment

Our AI & Tech weeks align with:

  • Lehrplan 21: Medien und Informatik
  • Digital literacy competencies
  • Interdisciplinary project-based learning goals
