The development of programs that can engage on behaviours that human consider intelligent, poses a number of challenges that tend to attract Gifted and Talented students. The activities promote higher order thinking skills, problem solving skills and intellectual knowledge development. By offering these activities using the Internet, participants can work in teams using a collaborative approach towards the solution of a problem.
 * Artificial Intelligence Club**

Most activities are oriented to the development of games that attract the learner as developer and as player, the participant has the opportunity to be challenged during the development phase and at the same time be entertained while developing and testing the game under construction.

The aim of the activities is to develop student’s creativity and divergent thinking skills. According to the Williams Model 1993 (DET NSW 2004), there is a three dimensional focusing that assist gifted and talented students to achieve these skills. The first dimension is the subject; the second dimension refers to the strategies that stimulate learning behaviours, and finally the development of cognitive-intellective and effective-temperament behaviours of students by using flexibility and originality, providing opportunities for elaboration and risk-taking activities, where students can enhance their curiosity and imagination throughout the completion of basic, medium and complex tasks. In this regard, Artificial Intelligence as a subject, lends itself to the implementation of challenging tasks that stimulate learning behaviours and foster cognitive-intellectual development. Furthermore, from a technological perspective, the use of social media provides opportunities for the delivery of activities that challenge student’s originality, curiosity and imagination where participants can take risks and work individually or collaboratively with peers in the completion of tasks.
