LAICC aims to inspire students to pursue pathways into higher education and careers in advanced technology fields.

LAICC is a three-week long summer program for high school students where they gain hands-on experience developing personalized mobile apps using industry standard software engineering practices, computer science, deep learning, and extended reality incorporating Indigenous knowledge and methods.

By inspiring the students to pursue their future in advanced technology and connecting them with professional networks, the LAICC fulfills the Strategic Focus Areas of Higher Education and Career Readiness while also laying the foundations for all three aspects of Workforce Development: Early Career Exposure, Diverse Pathways to Employment, and Bridging Transitions between Higher Education and Careers.

Laying the foundations for Academic Success the LAICC provides future Indigenous AI researchers, practitioners, and professionals with a community of Indigenous peers, mentors, and technical experts to support and uplift them as they continue learning and developing their programming and AI skills after the camp.

IndigiGenius will launch the T3PD (Teach the Teacher Professional Development) Program to increase the number of Indigenous educators for these summer camps as well as teaching STEM in the classroom throughout the school year. Applications will open in November 2023.
