AI Builders: Train Your First Model

A day-by-day plan we actually ship.

A hands-on, project-led bootcamp where students train a real machine-learning model — no boring theory. By Day 6, every student ships their own AI mini-app, exhibits it to parents, and walks home with a certificate plus a 30-day mentor support pass. Designed for the curious Class 8-12 student who wants more than a YouTube tutorial.
