Invent the Future: Dev with AI | $600 EARLY BIRD: $300
**EARLY BIRD PRICING ENDS ON JUNE 30, 11:59 PM PST
Open to students entering Grades 9–12. Students graduating Grade 12 in June 2026 are welcome to join as well.
Welcome to Invent the Future: Dev with AI, a two-week summer camp that invites high school students to learn how to build real, working web applications using the same tools that professional developers use today: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern AI coding assistants.
Week 1 is a guided foundation. Campers learn how the web works from the ground up—how pages are structured with HTML, styled with CSS, and made interactive with JavaScript—and then dive into the skill that defines modern software work: prompt engineering. They’ll practice zero-shot, one-shot, few-shot, structured-output, and chain-of-thought prompting, and compare how Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT respond to the same prompts so they can make an informed choice of tool.
Week 2 is a team hackathon. In teams of two or three, campers will use everything they’ve learned to design, build, and present a web app that addresses a real-world social-impact problem they care about. On the final day, they pitch their projects to instructors, guest judges, and their peers.
Campers finish the camp with three things: a published-quality portfolio piece of their own, a working understanding of the modern AI-assisted development workflow, and—most importantly—proof to themselves that they belong in technology.
