A 4-week AI build program · Ages 14–24
LVCI Next puts twelve students on small teams, hands them a real business problem, and coaches them to design, build, and ship a working AI solution — then present it to industry judges on a live Demo Day.
Why we exist
Most AI programs hand students a video playlist and a quiz. LVCI Next is nothing like that.
We bring together a small group of young people, divide them into teams, and give them a real challenge: find a business problem you can solve with AI — then actually build the solution.
Over four intensive weeks, students learn AI the only way that sticks: by creating something real. Building, breaking, iterating, and shipping — with guidance from people who work with AI every day.
At the end, every team presents what they built to industry judges. The best projects win real prizes. Every participant earns a verifiable Certificate of Completion — and walks away with proof, not just skills.
How the four weeks run
Each cohort is twelve students. Four Saturdays, one midweek mentor call, and team build time in between. The learning happens through the building.
Teams form, meet their mentors, and scope a real business problem worth solving. No coding experience required — just curiosity and commitment.
Students learn to work with AI as a build partner — turning an idea into a plan, and a plan into the first working version.
Teams build, test, hit walls, and get unblocked in mentor calls. This is where the skill actually forms.
Final polish, pitch practice, then Demo Day: a live presentation to industry judges, with prizes for the strongest builds.
4 hours each Saturday, live and hands-on
Midweek check-ins for support and unblocking
Total across the four weeks, including team work
A fresh cohort starts nearly every month
Two cohorts, one standard
Two separate cohorts, so the challenges match the group and the room feels right. Parents and guardians handle enrollment for students under 18.
AGES 14–17
High-school students building their first real AI project — in a supervised, structured environment designed for teens.
AGES 18–24
Early-career builders sharpening real-world skills — the kind that show up on a résumé and in an interview.
What they walk away with
“Built an AI tool that solved a real business problem” — the line hiring managers and admissions officers actually notice.
Issued with a verifiable ID and tied to a real shipped project. Made for résumés, LinkedIn, and university applications.
AI proficiency is one of the most sought-after skills in the market — taught here through doing, not theory.
Take an idea, scope it, build it with AI, ship it. That's how businesses start and how freelance doors open — from anywhere.
Executives and builders at AI-forward companies — access and relationships that can shift a career's trajectory.
Top builders get invited to shadow industry partners and see what AI looks like in a professional setting.
The LVCI family
LVCI — Luminaries, Visionaries, Creators and Innovators — is a private community of people at the top of their fields, across tech, the arts and beyond, united by one idea: creativity, bold thinking and technology can move the world forward in a positive way. Picture the icons of tomorrow in one room, back when they were still just dreaming big — that's the spirit of LVCI.
LVCI Next is our program for the next generation of big dreamers, bold thinkers and fearless doers: a space of their own, where they learn real skills in an environment built to encourage and empower them.
FOUNDER & LEAD INSTRUCTOR
Olivia has spent nearly two decades building things. She founded her first tech company in 2007 and grew it to seven figures, and today she's a marketing executive at a global software company while building AI-powered products of her own.
She created LVCI Next because she believes the next generation shouldn't have to wait for permission to build — and she's in the room every cohort, coaching teams from first idea to Demo Day.

Their own computer — any laptop or desktop with stable internet. Everything runs in the browser.
After the four weeks
Learn to talk about AI skills in interviews and on a résumé so employers take notice.
A guided project to create an AI-powered app that showcases who you are — built to help you stand out.
Stay connected with mentors and fellow alumni in small ongoing groups. Keep building, keep shipping.
Add-on programs are optional, available to graduates only, and priced separately.
For parents, mostly
No. Neither cohort requires any coding background — just curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to build. Students learn to work with AI tools as a build partner, and mentors are there every week to unblock them.
One 4-hour Saturday session, one 90-minute midweek mentor call, and about 2 hours of team work on the students' own schedule — roughly 30 guided hours across the four weeks.
Parents and guardians handle enrollment for the Youth Cohort (ages 14–17). Start by reserving a seat or asking us to contact you — a member of our team walks you through everything before anything is finalized.
A $150 deposit holds your student's seat in the next available cohort and is applied in full toward tuition. If you'd rather talk first, ask us to contact you — no payment needed.
A Claude Pro subscription (about US$20/month, paid directly to Anthropic) and their own laptop or desktop with stable internet. Everything runs in the browser. Both are billed separately and owned by the student, so tuition and tools stay clearly separate.
On the final Saturday, every team presents what they built to a panel of industry judges. The strongest projects win real prizes, every participant earns a verifiable Certificate of Completion, and the whole experience is captured so students walk away with proof of what they made.
