01 LEARN
Understand what AI can do, where it can fail, and how to communicate with it effectively.
Summer 2026 · Program Showcase
Students came with ideas.
Students came with ideas.
They left with working apps.
In Summer 2026, students ages 13–16 joined our Build with AI — From Idea to Launched App bootcamp.
Over two weeks, they learned to turn ideas into plans, build with AI, debug and iterate — then launch and present their own work.
30 HOURS · 10 BUILD DAYS · 1 DEMO DAY
Where the journey began
Meet the students before they started building.
Orientation Day · Summer 2026
Before the first build, we asked students why they joined, what they hoped to learn, and what they wanted to create with AI.
The learning journey
Learning AI by building with it.
Students moved from an idea to a working project — learning to direct AI, evaluate its output, solve problems, iterate, and take ownership of what they created.
02 BUILD
Turn ideas into working software through planning, experimentation, debugging, and iteration.
03 PRESENT
Demonstrate the finished project, explain key decisions, reflect on challenges, and share what comes next.
Student work
Built by our students.
Throughout the bootcamp, students built 6+ projects, including their own personal homepage and a series of interactive games. Games became a creative medium for learning how to build with AI, experiment with ideas, debug problems, and make each project their own.

In their own words
What did the students take away?
Real reflections from our Summer 2026 students.
“Technology is powerful, but it’s the people behind it who make it meaningful.”
The camp helped me see AI in a new way… I’m leaving this camp with more curiosity, new ideas, and excitement for what the future can bring.
“I learnt a lot about launching and creating a live website.”
I had a great 2 weeks here at the Future Wrights Academy’s Summer AI Bootcamp. I learnt a lot about launching and creating a live website. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
“It helped me improve my problem-solving skills and boosted my creativity.”
This AI bootcamp helped me learn about how artificial intelligence works and how I can use AI tools effectively. It also helped me improve my problem-solving skills and boosted my creativity by giving me opportunities to work on different games and websites.
“It has enabled me to follow my passion of creating a study website with the assist of AI.”
My experience at Future Wrights has taught me more than the use of VSCode or the structure of prompting; it has enabled me to follow my passion of creating a study website with the assist of AI.
“I built over 15 websites/games thanks to them.”
For me, Future Wrights Academy helped me a lot. Whether it was for coding, debugging, or any kind of advice, they were there. I built over 15 websites/games thanks to them. I enjoyed Future Wrights, & hope to come back!
“Sometimes it did not feel like a class because of how friendly everyone was.”
This two weeks were so much fun. Sometimes it did not feel like a class because of how friendly everyone was.
Student reflections
Hear directly from the creators.
Students reflect on what they learned, the challenges they worked through, and what they’re most proud of.
What students learned
The apps are the evidence.
The apps are the evidence.
The capabilities are the outcome.
Building software gave students something tangible to create. But the broader goal was to develop the ways of thinking required to work effectively with AI.
Understand what generative AI can do, where it can fail, and why human judgment remains essential.
Communicate goals clearly and provide AI with the information and constraints it needs.
Translate an idea into requirements, steps, and an actionable build plan.
Break a larger problem into smaller components that can be understood, built, and improved.
Test results, diagnose problems, revise approaches, and learn from unsuccessful attempts.
Explain what was built, justify decisions, demonstrate the work, and identify opportunities for improvement.
Inside the classroom
What building with AI looked like.
Demo Day · Summer 2026
From builder to presenter.
On the final day, students took the stage to demonstrate what they built, explain their decisions, reflect on challenges, and share where they would take their project next.

Program design
Two weeks. A deliberate progression.
See the full day-by-day curriculum on the bootcamp page.
Week 1 — Learn to Build with AI
- 1OrientationMeet the cohort, set up, and get ready to build
- 2What Is AI & How Does It Think?Develop a personal webpage
- 3Taking It LiveSet up GitHub and Vercel, then deploy a personal webpage
- 4The Art of PromptingPractice giving AI clear, useful instructions
- 5Plan Before You BuildTurn an idea into a clear plan before writing code
Week 2 — Build, Debug & Launch
- 6Teach AI How You WorkGive AI the context it needs to support your process
- 7Think in Pieces, Build in PiecesBreak a larger build into manageable parts
- 8Everything BreaksDebug, iterate, and learn from what goes wrong
- 9Capstone ProjectBring an original idea to life
- 10Demo DayPresent the work you built and what you learned
For schools & education partners
What could this look like for your students?
Summer 2026 showed what can happen when students are given the tools, guidance, and space to move from using AI to creating with it.
We partner with schools and education organizations to bring these hands-on learning experiences to their students.
After-School Programs
Multi-week programs delivered in partnership with schools.
Workshops & AI Labs
Focused hands-on experiences around specific AI capabilities and challenges.
Bootcamps & Intensives
Bootcamp-style experiences for breaks, enrichment weeks, or special programming.
Co-Designed Programs
Learning experiences developed with educators around particular subjects, student groups, or learning objectives.
