The Lens — Photography & Video
Students pick up a camera on day one. They learn how to frame a shot, tell a story visually, and edit real footage in DaVinci Resolve — the industry-standard software used by professional filmmakers.
Tuyigiriza abaana abali wakati w'emyaka 10–16 engeri y'okukozesaamu AI — to build apps, create media, and bring their ideas to life. We focus on real-world tools and hands-on projects.

In a few years, the kids who thrive won't be the ones who memorized Python syntax — they'll be the ones who know how to direct AI to build things for them. How to prompt well. How to think through a problem. How to actually ship something.
"We prepare students for the future by teaching them to master real challenges today."
We work with professional tools from day one — DaVinci Resolve, real AI APIs, and live deployments. As students navigate real-world complexity, they learn to problem-solve independently, building the lasting confidence to tackle any hard task.
Know where to look, what to ask, and how to keep moving when things break.
Think about who you're building for and why it should exist before writing a single line.
Put something real in the world, see what breaks, make it better. Repeat.
Learn how digital things actually work under the hood — so you can reason about anything.
We split students into two groups — Juniors (ages 10–12) and Seniors (ages 13–16) — so the depth and pace matches where each kid is. The same four topics, taught differently.

This is where we teach kids how to think. Boolean logic, simple graph theory, and pattern recognition—fundamental mental tools that make you dramatically better at prompting AI and solving any technical problem.
Students learn to generate images, videos, and audio using the best AI tools available today. More importantly, they learn to direct them — guiding the technology to achieve consistent, intentional, and creative results.
Students describe what they want to build in plain English, and use AI to write the code. Then they learn to read it, fix it, and deploy it live on the internet. By the end, they have real, functional web applications running live online.
Every student finishes the program with two custom projects built entirely by themselves. These are fully independent portfolios that they can showcase and explain end-to-end.
Each student builds and launches their own social media platform — sign-in, a feed, likes, and whatever else they dream up. It lives on the internet with a real URL. They built it. They'll be able to explain every part of it.
Students pick a real editing problem that bugs them, then build a plugin in Python or Lua that actually fixes it inside DaVinci Resolve. This one is genuinely hard — reading API docs, debugging strange errors, and pushing through until it works. That's the point.
Classes happen both online and in-person at Uvotam Studios in Uganda. Everything moves at your child's pace, focusing on mastery rather than a rigid timeline.
Fill in your details and we'll reach out to start a conversation. We want to ensure this program aligns with your child's goals and interests before we begin.
