Do you have what it takes?
This isn’t an application form. It’s a journey. Four stages. One question: are you interesting enough?
Tell us who you are.
A 15-minute conversation with Scout, our AI camp counselor. No preparation needed. No right answers. Scout is warm, curious, and genuinely wants to know what makes you tick. She'll ask about your interests, your projects, what excites you. Or take a quick Python skills test if that's more your thing.

We read every single one.
Not an algorithm. Real people on our team personally read every application. We're not looking at grades or test scores. We're looking for spark — the kid who lights up about something, anything. Bugs. Beats. Bots. Bread. We don't care what it is. We care that it's real.

Now show us what you can do.
If you stand out, you'll receive a theme and one week to build something real. A robot. An app. A short film. A business plan. A song. A scientific experiment. Whatever shows who you are. Film it. Submit it. This is where you prove you're not just talking — you're doing.

Welcome to the ten.
10 students are selected for each cohort. You'll get an email that changes your summer. Pack your bags. You're about to meet 9 other kids who are just as weird, just as driven, and just as ready as you are. From cities you've never been to, with stories you've never heard.
10 per cohort · 6 locations worldwide
What we’re looking for.
✓ We want
- Genuine curiosity about anything
- A project, hobby, or obsession they light up about
- Willingness to try new things
- Kindness and openness to others
- Self-driven — they do things because they want to, not because someone told them to
✗ We don’t care about
- Perfect grades or test scores
- Awards, trophies, or certificates
- How many extracurriculars they have
- Whether their parents want them to go
- What school they attend or how much it costs
We’re not looking for perfect. We’re looking for spark.
Frequently asked.
Can I retake the assessment?+
Yes, once, after a 30-day waiting period. Only the most recent assessment is considered.
What if I don't know Python?+
The voice assessment doesn't require any coding knowledge. If you choose the Python test and don't know much, that's okay — it helps us understand your level, not gatekeep.
My parents want me to go but I'm not sure.+
That's honest, and we respect it. The assessment is low-pressure — try the voice conversation and see how it feels. No obligation.
What happens if I don't get in?+
You'll get encouraging feedback and an invitation to apply for the next cohort. Many successful campers didn't get in on their first try.
Is there an age requirement?+
Yes — two age groups: 8–12 and 12–16. Each group has its own cohort with age-appropriate activities and project complexity.
Can I apply for a specific location?+
Yes — you can indicate a preference. We'll also recommend locations based on your assessment.
