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.
Summer Camp curriculum
Ten live sessions follow one connected build sequence. Students develop a brand idea, add media and interactivity, publish their work, and prepare to explain it on Demo Day.
Website structure, HTML and CSS files, responsive design, and testing changes in the browser.
Create a fictional product-brand site with key sections, a footer, mobile menu, buttons, and a colourful visual style.
Create a professional responsive brand website while learning how the HTML and CSS work and making direct edits.
Audience-aware writing, useful page sections, image planning, generation, placement, and revision.
Improve the website words, add sections, plan brand images, create a product picture, and place it correctly on the site.
Give the brand a distinct look and voice, improve its positioning, add credible sections, and create and place brand images.
Consistent branding, logos, gallery assets, scripts, audio and video planning, and media integration.
Create a logo and gallery images, then fit the new visuals into the website so the brand feels complete.
Write an ad script, design a brand presenter, plan a jingle, and build a campaign section for video and audio.
Turning a clear idea into a working asset, reviewing the result, and improving how visitors experience it.
Write a short ad script, design a presenter, create the video, and add a video section to the website.
Brainstorm and build a useful customer tool, then add another interactive touch that makes the site more helpful.
Creative direction, writing original prompts, working from a brief, and improving a build against clear requirements.
Create and refine a short brand song, then add the finished jingle and brand video to the website.
Interview a client, write an original brief and prompts, build to the brief, then plan and create a standalone app with greater independence.
Planning logic, creating multiple pages or game states, testing interactions, and improving the experience.
Turn the project into a multi-page site with a matching quiz, Fun Zone, memory game, sounds, and shareable results.
Plan and build an original game, test how it plays, and improve it with stronger mechanics and personal ideas.
Hosting a working project, checking the live link, adding launch assets, and communicating what was built.
Publish the brand website, then build and improve a browser game with levels, scores, sounds, and a personal twist.
Connect a contact form, plan the launch, create a launch page, and produce promotional posts and a flyer concept.
Selecting the strongest evidence, organizing ideas into slides, and expressing the value in one clear sentence.
Plan the presentation, create a visual pitch deck in Gamma, and write a clear one-line pitch for the brand.
Organize the problem, solution, audience, live build, and personal contribution into a concise presentation.
No AI for the storytelling work: students practise explaining choices, reveals, independent additions, and mistakes they fixed.
Turn features into short, memorable stories and practise a complete presentation from opening to finish.
Build several strong mini-stories, explain what went wrong and how it was solved, then rehearse the full pitch.
Organizing evidence, reflecting on the process, presenting live, and answering questions about the work.
Use a clear presentation order, reflect on the project journey, and proudly demonstrate the finished brand experience.
Create one portfolio page for the projects, add clear project descriptions, and use it as the live Demo Day showcase.

founder and academic director
Ugo Nkwocha
Founder · Academic Director · Engineer · Educator
Ugo Nkwocha leads the curriculum, educational direction, and teaching standards behind Transcend AI Academy. He founded and spent more than a decade leading 9jacodekids Academy in Nigeria, an online coding academy that taught more than 9,000 children coding and digital skills.
That experience shapes how every Transcend program is delivered: small groups, clear instruction, responsible AI use, and projects students can explain rather than simply generate. Classes are led by Transcend instructors, and instructor assignments may vary by cohort.
"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.
Student Demo Day
During Demo Day, Nene shows the Siparoo website, explains the pages she created herself, and walks through how she improved her prompt to solve a mobile navigation problem.

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.
Classes are led by Transcend AI Academy instructors. Instructor assignments may vary by program and cohort. Every instructor follows the same curriculum, small-group teaching model, responsible AI framework, and parent communication process. Ugo Nkwocha, Founder and Academic Director, oversees the academy’s educational direction and teaching standards.
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.
