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 completed AI brand project
A fictional brand website, visuals, ad assets, jingle, quiz or mini game, and pitch they built and improved with AI.
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.
Every session is project-driven. Children create, iterate, and present. Two separate age tracks mean the depth and pace always match your child's stage.
Parent review
“Our girls recently completed the 2-week AI class, and we are beyond impressed with what they learned and accomplished.”
The parent highlighted the hands-on projects, practical skills, creativity, and confidence her children developed during the program.

Ugo Nkwocha
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."
Student projects
These are real, hosted projects created by our students. Some were built independently, while others were developed with instructor guidance. Open any project to explore the working website or tool for yourself.
A repair-shop workflow app for organizing jobs, vehicles, parts, labour costs, and repair totals.
Jesael built TorqueWorks after thinking about his dad's daily work as a mechanic. He wanted to create a practical tool that could help keep repair jobs and costs organized.
A basketball compression-gear brand site with product positioning, fit guidance, and campaign content.
Westley chose a world he already knows well: basketball. Because he plays the game himself, he built a brand around what players need to feel supported and ready on the court.
A children's art-kit brand site with themed products, parent benefits, and a complete campaign.
Akachukwu loves painting and drawing. She used that passion as the starting point for DoodleBox, an art-kit brand built around children's creativity.
A playful smoothie brand site with products, visual identity, and messaging designed for kids and parents.
Nene loves food and wanted to create something healthy. She turned that idea into Siparoo, a bright smoothie brand that makes fruit feel fun for children.
A mountain-bike store site with product browsing and a working suspension setup calculator.
Jesael loves riding mountain bikes, so he built Evergreen Cycle around an activity he genuinely enjoys. He went beyond a storefront by adding a suspension setup calculator for riders.
A gamified productivity app that turns homework and chores into quests that earn screen-time rewards.
Westley built BuddyWork as a tool he plans to use when school starts to help him stay focused. He believes his friends would enjoy using it too.

AFTER ENROLLMENT
Your confirmation email includes your receipt, batch details, and family portal access.
Inside the portal, you will find the schedule, Google Meet link, parent prep notes, and readiness details.
During camp, the portal keeps assignments, class updates, and catch-up guidance in one place.
After Demo Day, certificate details, portfolio updates, and final project notes are shared through the portal.
Family portal
The family portal keeps live classes, assignments, recordings, messages, and each child's portfolio in one organized place.
See upcoming classes, assignments, and new recordings without searching through emails.
Switch between children while keeping the whole family's learning in one clear view.
Find portfolios, activity, messages, and notifications together in one place.
PARENT QUESTIONS
By Demo Day, students present a project that matches their age track. AI Explorers build a fictional product brand with a website, AI-generated visuals, ad or video draft, jingle, quiz or mini game, and pitch slides. AI Innovators build a more professional brand site with campaign assets, a working feature or mini-tool, and a founder-style pitch deck. The goal is not passive AI use. It is building, testing, improving, and explaining their work.
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.
No paid subscriptions are required for the camp. A laptop is required because students need to use a browser, keyboard or trackpad, tabs, files, and copy/paste while building. Tablets do not give enough control for this curriculum.
If your child misses a session, contact us so we can confirm the current catch-up option for that batch. The camp is live and project-based, so students should attend consistently where possible.

Yes. No prior AI or coding experience is required. The camp starts from the beginning with guided, step-by-step AI use. Because this is a laptop-based live class, students should be comfortable using a browser, keyboard or trackpad, switching tabs, copying and pasting, and following simple English instructions. Younger students may need a parent nearby for setup and sign-ins.
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.
