The 8-week journey

A structured pathway, week by week.

Every week builds on the last — from AI foundations to a live pitch in front of judges.

Week 1

Orientation & AI Foundations

Students meet their cohort, get oriented on the Wenzo system, and dive into AI fundamentals — what it is, how to use it, and how it's changing the world.

Week 2

Low-Code & Creative Tech

Hands-on workshops in low-code tools — students learn to build apps, sites and digital products using no-code and low-code platforms alongside creative AI tooling.

Week 3

Problem Discovery & Research

Students learn to spot real problems in their communities, conduct simple user research, and frame a worthwhile challenge.

Week 4

Entrepreneurship Fundamentals

Validation, value, customers, business basics — taught in plain language by working operators and founders.

Week 5

Design Thinking & Prototyping

From wireframes to clickable prototypes — small teams turn an idea into something tangible.

Week 6
