Ages 9–15
Kids Saturdays
Saturday mornings of glorious, structured chaos. Kids storyboard a game, train a silly chatbot, build a website about their obsession of the month — and demo it to the room before lunch.
An Orvantis Intelligence initiative · Accra, Ghana
Don’t just learn AI —
build
with it.
A hands-on AI learning lab for kids, professionals, founders and teams. No slideshows about the future — by week two you’ve shipped something real, and it has your name on it.
Who builds here
Four tracks. One rule: everyone ships.
Nine-year-olds and CEOs use the same door. Different pace, different projects — the same maker energy, the same “look what I made” at the end.
Evenings
Professionals
Six weeks, two evenings a week, zero fluff. Bring the most annoying part of your job and leave with an AI workflow that does it for you — plus the judgement to know when not to trust it.
Founders
Founders Sprint
Four weeks from idea to a working thing with customers poking at it. Prototype with AI, price it, pitch it at demo day. We’re allergic to decks with no product behind them.
Companies
Teams
A build week for your whole department. We map your real processes, then your team builds the automations themselves — so the knowledge stays when we leave. Runs at your office or ours.
What you’ll make
Real projects, not toy exercises.
These four ship in every cohort, tuned to your track. Kids make the playful versions; founders make the money-making ones. All of them actually run.
A booking bot
A WhatsApp-style assistant that answers, checks a calendar and books the slot — for a salon, a clinic, a football pitch.
A portfolio site
A fast, handsome site that shows your work — designed with AI as your junior, deployed live in an afternoon.
A content engine
One idea in, a week of on-brand posts out — drafted by AI, curated by you, scheduled automatically. Taste stays human.
An ops dashboard
Sales, stock, bookings — pulled from the tools you already use into one clear morning view, with an AI summary on top.
The method
Learn by shipping.
Tutorials evaporate. Shipped things stick. Every track runs the same three-beat loop, over and over, until building with AI feels like riding a bike.
Pick a real problem
Yours, your family’s, your business’s. If nobody would notice it being solved, it doesn’t make the cut. Real stakes make real builders.
Build it, together
Small groups, a coach at your elbow, AI doing the heavy lifting. You learn to direct the tools — brief them, doubt them, correct them — not just prompt and pray.
Ship it, show it
Every session ends with a demo. Applause is mandatory, polish is not. Then you pick the next problem — slightly bigger — and go again.
The space
A workshop, not a classroom.
Twelve build stations in East Legon, Accra. Pegboards, sticky notes, a demo wall, and a strict no-rows-of-desks policy. It should feel like somewhere things get made — because they do.
- 12 build stations Big screens, fast machines, every major AI tool set up and paid for. Just sit down and make.
- Fibre + backup power Dumsor doesn’t attend our sessions. Inverters and a generator keep the lab building through anything.
- Open-lab Saturdays Alumni build free every Saturday afternoon. Once a builder here, always a builder here.
Cohort calendar
Pick your start line — 2026.
Small cohorts, real coaches, hard caps. When a row fills, it’s full — we’d rather add a cohort than crowd one.

Fair questions
Before you ask…
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Most builders arrive never having written a line. You’ll leave understanding how software fits together and how to direct AI to write, fix and explain code for you. The coders among you just go deeper, faster.
Which AI tools do you teach?
Whatever ships your project best — today that means frontier chat assistants, coding agents, image and voice tools, and the boring-but-mighty automation platforms. Tools change monthly; the method doesn’t. We teach judgement, not menus.
What should I bring?
Professionals, founders and teams: your own laptop and one real problem you care about. Kids: just the kid — we provide laptops, accounts and snacks. Everyone: a healthy suspicion of anything that demos too smoothly.
Can I visit before committing?
Please do. Open-lab Saturday afternoons are exactly for this — drop in, watch a demo, interrogate the alumni. Or come to Family Build Day on 7 November 2026, which is free and finishes with cake.
Is my child too young / am I too old?
Kids Saturdays fits ages 9–15 comfortably. On the other end there is no end: our oldest graduate is 68 and automated her church’s bookkeeping. Curiosity is the entry requirement; birth year isn’t.
What happens after my cohort?
You keep building. Alumni get lifetime access to open-lab Saturdays, the community group, and first invitations to advanced sprints. The Lab is a door you walk through, not a course you finish.
Join the Lab
Your first demo day is closer than you think.
Tell us who’s building and which track fits. A real human (usually Ama, our programmes lead) replies within two working days with next steps — no bots on this particular job.
