5-Day School Holiday Program for Young Builders

"Own your identity. Publish your work. Get paid peer-to-peer."

What If School Holidays Built Real Skills for the Future?

Instead of another holiday camp where you consume apps, play games, or follow instructions… What if you learned how to build with artificial intelligence, understand Bitcoin as real-world money, own your digital identity, publish your work to the open web, and create a real project or business idea?

This is not a coding camp. This is a hands-on hackathon where you work independently on real projects. Parents are welcome to participate alongside you, but the focus is on your learning and building. No prior experience required. No exams. No grades. No pressure.

Nostr

Identity, publishing, portfolios

What You'll Build

By Friday, you'll have:

  • A Nostr identity (npub) for your project
  • A public Nostr-native portfolio feed
  • A working AI-powered prototype
  • A Bitcoin-native value model
  • A pitch published to Nostr (immutable, timestamped)
  • A permanent learning artefact (not a certificate)

There are no certificates. The portfolio is the evidence.

The Week at a Glance

Day 1 – Identity & Ideas

What AI, Bitcoin, and Nostr really are. Create your project identity. Choose a problem to solve.

Why This Program Works

Future-Ready Skills

Learn AI literacy, financial literacy, digital identity, online safety, and ethical technology use through hands-on building.

Real Independence

Work on your own projects with expert guidance. Parents are welcome to join and learn alongside you, but you're in the driver's seat.

Evidence & Outcomes

No real funds required. Strong focus on digital safety. You leave with a public portfolio, real artefacts, and confidence explaining what you built and why.

Why We Use Nostr

Most platforms own your data, control what is seen, and decide what gets removed.

Nostr is different. It teaches you how to own your digital identity, how publishing really works, how to build without asking permission, and how to leave a permanent record of your learning.

This is digital literacy at the protocol level, not just "internet safety tips".

Who This Is For

What You'll Take Home

🛠️ Working Project
