A live, instructor-led summer camp for ages 8–16. Ten days of real projects, rigorous thinking, and responsible AI use — delivered in small cohorts where every child gets seen.
Google Meet · Recordings included · Demo Day + certificate + portfolio
Every session starts with your child’s ideas.
AI shows up to amplify what’s already theirs — not to do their thinking for them. That’s the whole philosophy, built into every lesson.
Students brainstorm and outline first. When AI enters the room, it deepens and expands thinking that’s already their own.
They learn to direct tools, critique outputs, and ship original work — leaving with a portfolio and the confidence that built it.
Privacy basics, smart boundaries, and responsible use — taught in plain, age-appropriate language throughout the whole camp.
What your child walks away with
The children who thrive in an AI-driven world are the ones who know how to think clearly, ask precise questions, and produce original work. This camp trains exactly that — through real projects and hands-on creation.
01
A working creator portfolio
Comics, stories, product concepts, or short videos — original AI-powered projects they built themselves.
02
Sharper critical thinking
The habit of forming their own ideas first — and using AI to pressure-test and expand them.
03
Confident AI communication
Clearer prompting, better questioning, and the skill to evaluate and improve what AI gives back.
04
Digital wisdom they’ll keep
A practical understanding of safety, privacy, and responsible use that travels with them long after camp ends.
What they’ll actually build
Every session is project-driven. Children don’t sit through lectures — they create, iterate, and present. Two separate age tracks mean the depth and pace always match your child’s stage.
Every AI Explorer presents their completed AI-powered storybook or comic. Certificate issued, creator portfolio delivered — the work is fully theirs.
Every AI Innovator delivers a polished 5-minute live pitch — with an AI-designed slide deck, original visuals, and optionally a D-ID avatar video. The portfolio, certificate, and all project files are theirs to keep — and to show future teachers, colleges, and employers.
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
From parents whose children have experienced the Transcend AI Academy approach firsthand.

"[Replace with parent testimonial. The most powerful testimonials speak to a specific change they saw in their child — not just that they enjoyed it.]"
"[Replace with parent testimonial. Quotes that mention the Think First approach or something specific their child built tend to be the most convincing to other parents.]"
"[Replace with parent testimonial. If you have a quote specifically about safety, over-reliance concerns, or critical thinking — this is a great slot for it. Those address the biggest parent objections.]"
"[Replace with parent testimonial. A great final text testimonial often speaks to value vs. cost — something like 'I was unsure about the investment but...' — it handles the price objection before the pricing section.]"

Founder · Engineer · Educator · Father of three
I'm the founder — and the person who will be in the room with your child. I'm an engineer, educator, and father of three who spent over a decade running 9jacodekids Academy in Nigeria, teaching more than 9,000 children aged 6–16 to code, build with robotics, and work with AI tools.
That experience taught me what actually works when teaching kids to think critically about technology. Transcend AI Academy carries that mission forward — rebuilt for the AI age and brought to Canada.
"I built this because I wanted something that didn't exist yet — a programme I'd enrol my own children in without hesitation."

Once camp begins, refunds are closed — because your seat was held for your child the entire time.
AFTER ENROLLMENT
Confirmation email arrives with your receipt and batch details.
We send the Google Meet link, schedule, and a brief parent orientation guide.
Your child joins live sessions. Recordings land in their inbox after each one.
Demo Day: your child presents their project. Certificate and portfolio delivered.
PARENT QUESTIONS
By Demo Day, every student presents an original AI-powered project — a comic, a story, a product concept, or a short video. Something they built themselves, with AI as their tool, not their author. The portfolio documents the full creative journey from week one.
Ages 8–11 join the morning session (10am–12pm) as AI Explorers. Ages 12–16 join the afternoon session (2pm–4pm) as AI Innovators. The schedule is set by age group — there's no choice to make on timing. When you enroll, your child is automatically placed in the right session for their age. Both groups run Monday to Friday for two weeks.
The entire program is built around the opposite. Every session opens with a "Think First" workflow — students brainstorm and outline before AI enters the picture. Then they use AI to deepen, expand, and refine what's already theirs. By camp's end, the habit is set: ideas come from them first, always.
We include a dedicated segment on digital wisdom throughout the camp — privacy basics, safe prompting habits, personal information boundaries, and how to recognise when a tool is being used against you rather than for you. All delivered in plain, age-appropriate language by a supervised instructor.
None. Every tool we use has a free tier that covers everything in the curriculum. A laptop is required — tablets don't give the control needed for the creative work.
Every session is recorded and sent to enrolled families. Missing a class doesn't mean falling behind — your child catches up on their own schedule before the next live session picks up.
Ages 8–11 join the morning session (10am–12pm) as AI Explorers. Ages 12–16 join the afternoon session (2pm–4pm) as AI Innovators. The schedule is set by age group — there's no choice to make on timing. When you enroll, your child is automatically placed in the right session for their age. Both groups run Monday to Friday for two weeks, covering the same core principles with curriculum matched to each developmental stage.
This camp is beginner-friendly by design. No prior AI experience is assumed or required. We start from scratch and build — which is actually the ideal starting point, because there are no habits to unlearn.
They’ll leave with a portfolio, a certificate, and a way of thinking about AI that puts them in control of the tool — not the other way around.
Seats capped at 8 per class · Three batches available · Early bird $130/child until March 31
