November to December Holiday 2026 · Starts Monday 2 November

Your child’s first real build happens this holiday.

A six-week AI Bootcamp for Junior and Senior Secondary students. They learn how AI works, use it to build websites and digital products, then present their project at a Hackathon and graduate on 12 December. You are invited to both.

KES 20,000 for the full programme, payable in two instalments. Grade 7 to Grade 12. No coding experience needed.

AI is the new literacy. Give your child a head start.

The students who understand AI and can build with it will walk into university, work and business with an advantage the others do not have. This bootcamp turns a holiday into that advantage.

Understand AI

What AI is, how tools like ChatGPT and Claude actually work, where they fail, and how to use them well.

Build with AI

Websites, mini apps and digital products, made with AI assistance and published online.

Solve real problems

Pick a problem in school or the community, break it into steps, and build a working solution in a team.

Present at the Hackathon

Pitch the project to parents, guests and a panel. Confidence is built on stage, not in a classroom.

Six weeks, one build every week, one Hackathon.

This is not a lecture series. Each day opens with one idea explained simply and ends with something built, tested and shown to the room.

Week 1 · 2 to 6 Nov

AI foundations

How AI works, prompting, AI tools for writing, research, images and code.

Build: A personal webpage, live online by Friday.
Week 2 · 9 to 13 Nov

Building digital products

How websites and apps fit together, AI-assisted coding, design basics, testing.

Build: A working mini app with a form and real data.
Week 3 · 16 to 20 Nov

Smarter products

Data, automation, and adding a chatbot or AI feature to an app. Responsible use of other people's data.

Build: An AI feature added to the week 2 app.
Week 4 · 23 to 27 Nov

Finding a real problem

Spotting a problem worth solving, computational thinking, forming a team, sketching the solution.

Build: A problem statement and a clickable prototype.
Week 5 · 30 Nov to 4 Dec

Build, test, improve

Building the first version as a team, user feedback, fixing and cutting.

Build: The first working version of the team project.
Week 6 · 7 to 11 Dec

Polish, pitch, present

Making it reliable, storytelling, a three-minute pitch, a portfolio.

Build: The finished project and a rehearsed pitch.

Saturday 12 December: Hackathon and Graduation.

Hackathon and Graduation: where you watch it click.

On Saturday 12 December every team presents the project they built, then every student graduates. You are invited. It is not an exam. It is the moment your child stands in front of an audience, demos something they made, answers questions, and realises they can.

Every student leaves with a certificate and a portfolio of projects they built themselves.

What you can expect from us.

Supervised, every session

Students log in to Google Meet daily. Instructors are on the call for the whole session. You get a progress update every Friday.

Built, not lectured

Students make real things on their own laptops. You will see the work, not a report card.

A holiday that counts

Thirty mornings of focused building instead of thirty mornings of scrolling. Afternoons stay free.
