Camp Kickoff

Welcome to Invent the Future.

Here's what the two weeks look like:

Week 1 — Learn

• Day 1: HTML and CSS — how web pages are structured and styled
• Day 2: JavaScript and your first AI prompts
• Days 3–4: Prompting techniques, how to get consistently useful results from a model
• Day 5: Form your team and scope your project

Week 2 — Build

• Days 6–9: A four-sprint hackathon where your team builds a working web app
• Day 10: Demo Day — you present your app to a live audience

Three rules

The camp runs on three standards:

1. Try before you ask. Spend a few minutes on it yourself first.
2. Ask three peers before an instructor. Someone nearby probably knows, and explaining it helps them too.
3. Finished beats perfect. A working page beats an ambitious one that never ships.

What you're building toward

By Friday of Week 2, your team will present a working web app in front of a live audience. You chose a problem. You build a solution.
