The future belongs to the AI Natives.
The time is now. Join us.

Dream. Design. Deploy.

At AI Natives, learning is exclusive and transformative.
You get the chance to be guided by world-class mentors who open doors to the frontiers of AI.

Whether in our small cohort Bootcamps or in our 1:1 Mentorship programs, every session blends advanced concepts with the cutting-edge tools shaping global industries. You will learn AI fundamentals, in either no-code or code settings, or both, and explore a variety of applications. The outcome is more than knowledge: it’s a personal AI project that showcases your vision in fields like technology, engineering, science, health, climate, education, or culture.

This is where ambition meets expertise and where future leaders begin to stand out.
If you are a high school student looking to learn new skills and boost your college application through a passion project, or a professional looking to develop new competencies and gain AI proficiency, you are at the right address.

Professional Track

You’re not behind. You’re just early to your next chapter.

Everywhere you look, AI is reshaping the future, in boardrooms, in job descriptions, even in everyday conversations. The question is not whether it will matter, but how you will use it to shape your own path.

Our bootcamp is your starting point. You will learn how AI works, how to build your own AI assistant, and how to leverage AI tools to boost your current role or master your next move. With mentors from MIT, Harvard, and world-leading AI labs, you will gain the skills to create and to think differently. Depending on your goals, you can even choose to learn how to code. You will walk away with a project that embodies your vision, your ambition, and your place in the future.

At AI Natives, our mentors are world-class innovators

They have worked at the intersection of AI and more than fifteen fields, from biotechnology to technology giants, carrying with them both real-world expertise and a passion for guiding the next generation.

When you join AI Natives, you are not simply learning about AI. You are learning alongside the people who have built with it, who have used it to solve complex problems, and who have transformed entire industries. You are stepping into a community where experience meets ambition, and where your own journey becomes part of the story of change.
