Tell us what your student is excited to build.
The application helps us understand the student’s interests, follow-through, starting point, and whether AI Innovators or a 1:1 specialist match is the stronger fit. No prior programming course is required for AI Innovators.
Review the schedule first, then send the application to your student. Their interests, starting point, and project goals should come through in their own words.
How much does the program cost?
We discuss tuition and enrollment details directly with each family — we talk with every family before enrollment to make sure the program is the right fit for the student. Start the application or book a 15-minute family call and we’ll walk through everything, including cost, with no pressure.
Does my student need programming experience?
No prior programming course is required. Every accepted student gets the included Launchpad, which teaches the essential coding and tool skills before the cohort begins, so motivated beginners start the first week ready to build.
What is the weekly time commitment?
Orientation is September 12. Live instruction runs September 20 through November 22: three live hours plus one to two project hours each week, in build groups of no more than five students.
What if my student misses a session?
Students show progress at weekly demos, receive written notes each week, and can use office hours when they hit a blocker. If a student has to miss a live session, the family should tell the track lead so we can map the clearest catch-up plan.
Who is teaching, and how can I check their background?
Each track has a named technical lead, and every mentor is listed publicly with their track record and LinkedIn on the Mentors page. The work our students produce is public too — papers, award records, and App Store listings all link to their original sources.
What equipment does my student need?
A computer with a browser and a stable internet connection. Cloud notebooks and the model, API, or compute credits required for the approved project are included. The Physical AI track is simulation-first, so no robot hardware is needed to participate fully.
What does my student actually have at the end?
A working, tested project with code, measured results, and a public project page or video — presented at a live final showcase you can attend. Our standard is that parents should be able to inspect the work itself, not just see a certificate.
When do applications close?
Applications are reviewed as they arrive. The cohort begins September 12, 2026, and track placement closes as available pods fill. Pods are capped at 5 students.
