In 5 days, your teen will have:

A deployed, live project

A real app connected to live data, backed by a database and published online so they can share with anyone, including junior college & university admissions.

Skills that go beyond prompting

APIs, databases, structured prompting, debugging. The technical foundations that separate a builder from someone who just uses AI tools.

A portfolio-ready piece of work

Something concrete to show universities, competitions, or future employers. Not a screenshot – a working, deployed application.

Projects students have built in this camp

Real Vibe Coding projects, built with AI and published live during the camp week by students aged 10 to 12.

AI powered opponent

AI-powered productivity tracker

Database-backed web app

Stores and retrieves user data

Full-stack AI application

Live URL, portfolio-ready

*Projects may vary. All games shown were built by real Alphagen students during this camp.

Why Vibe Coding for ages 13–16?

Your teen has probably used AI to write essays or get quick answers, but using AI to actually build something is an entirely different skill.

Over five days, your teen learns to work with AI the way professional developers do – writing structured instructions, connecting to live data sources, storing information in databases, and shaping raw AI output into a finished product they fully understand and own.

Every session is 1-on-1 with a dedicated Alphagen teacher who tailors the project direction, pace, and challenge level to your teen specifically. No group catch-up. No generic curriculum.

Why this matters at 13–16

A portfolio that stands out. Or the first step towards building something entrepreneurial.

Young people who understand how to combine AI, live data, and databases are not just coders, they are potential founders. These skills can power an application portfolio that stands out, or become the foundation for building something real.

Portfolio project for university and DSA applications

Submission-ready for coding competitions

Foundation for an entrepreneurial project

Real skills for internships and future employers

What your teen will build and learn

No prior coding experience needed. This camp is designed for complete beginners aged 13–16 who are ready to build something technically substantial.

Vibe Coding

Prerequisites: None. Open to everyone, no coding experience required

Go from zero to a deployed, database-backed application in 5 days. Every concept builds on the last, and by Day 4, your teen is connecting their project to live data sources and real databases. Something genuinely impressive to show for a week’s work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all. The camp is designed for complete beginners at any age. The instructor starts from the very beginning, builds concepts progressively, and adapts entirely to your teen’s pace. By Day 4 they will be connecting to live data sources, something that sounds advanced but is entirely achievable with 1-on-1 guidance from Day 1.

The 13–16 camp goes significantly further technically. It introduces APIs (connecting to live data sources) and databases (storing and retrieving information) — concepts not covered in the 10–12 version. The projects produced are portfolio-ready and suitable for university applications and competitions. The pace and complexity are calibrated for teenage learners.

An API is a way for your teen’s app to pull in live data from the internet. For example, showing real weather data, news headlines, or sports scores. A database lets the app store and remember information so it can save a user’s name, track scores, or remember preferences. Together they are what separate a static website from a real, dynamic application.

Everything. The project is saved to their own GitHub or Netlify account and deployed with a live URL that anyone can visit. This is a real piece of work,  not a classroom exercise. It can be included in university applications, submitted to competitions, or simply shared with people who want to see what they built.

A Windows or Mac laptop with a working microphone, webcam, and mouse. Zoom must be installed before Day 1. VS Code is set up together with the instructor on Day 1, no need to pre-installa. Tablets are not recommended.

Students who complete this camp are well-positioned to continue with our Alpha Innovators weekly programme – deeper AI development, more complex projects, and a longer-term portfolio. We’ll guide you to the right next step when the time comes.

Your teen's coding journey doesn't stop here

From first project to real-world skills — we’ll be with your child every step of the way.
