Artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a game-changer in today'stechnology landscape. However, the integration of AI education in classroomcurricula currently lags behind, leaving teenagers inadequately prepared for animminent AI-driven future.  In this pilot study, we designed a three-day bootcamp offered in the summerof 2023 to a cohort of 60 high school students. The curriculum was delivered inperson through animated video content, easy-to-follow slides, interactiveplaygrounds, and quizzes. These were packaged in the early version of an onlinelearning platform we are developing. Results from the post-bootcamp surveyconveyed a 91.4% overall satisfaction. Despite the short bootcamp duration,88.5% and 71.4% of teenagers responded that they had an improved understandingof AI concepts and programming, respectively.  Overall, we found that employing diverse modalities effectively engagedstudents, and building foundational modules proved beneficial for introducingmore complex topics. Furthermore, using Google Colab notebooks for codingassignments proved challenging to most students. Students' activity on theplatform and their answers to quizzes showed proficient engagement and a graspof the material.  Our results strongly highlight the need for compelling and accessible AIeducation methods for the next generation and the potential for informallearning to fill the gap of providing early AI education to teenagers.
