The Expo.
Three of the ten Fellows go on. Six more weeks of coaching. A real booth, at a real expo,
in front of the people whose decisions shape what gets built next.
Three of the ten.
Seven to ten days after camp ends, the post-camp committee meets. The Fellow’s pre-camp coach. The Fellow’s camp counsellor. A Fizzmind senior team member. Together they review the work shipped pre-camp, the growth across camp week, the counsellor’s observations, and the state of the project at end of camp.
Three names go forward. Notified within fourteen days of camp ending.
Six more weeks.
Then the room.
Six weeks of focused coaching
After camp, work continues. Same personal coach, but the cadence sharpens. Twice-a-week 1-on-1 calls. Async code review. Goal: take the project from “camp-grade” to “a thing that holds attention from a real audience.”
Polish, packaging, pitch
A 5-minute live demo. A 1-page printed leave-behind for the booth. A landing page. A pitch deck if useful. Branding cleanup. The Fellow learns by doing each piece, with the coach.
A booth at an international AI expo
We secure a Fizzmind-funded exhibition booth at an AI expo in the United States or at a major equivalent show. Three Fellows share the booth. Three to four days of standing at it, demoing live to anyone who walks up.
The right people walking by
Founders looking for what is next. Investors trying to find the future. Senior engineers willing to talk to anyone genuinely building. Journalists writing about exhibitors. Other young builders from around the world.
This is not
a school science fair.
Founders
of real AI companies are walking the floor and stopping at booths.
Investors
are looking for what is next. And what is next sometimes wears braces.
Senior engineers
from companies you have heard of are around, willing to talk.
Journalists
cover the show, and sometimes write about exhibitors.
Other young builders
from around the world are there. The friendships made in those rooms last decades.
Three to four days. Dozens of conversations. The kind of exposure that shapes how a kid sees themselves and what is possible for them.
We pay for what
gets you there.
All exhibition booth charges
The booth itself. The build-out. The shared display. Setup and tear-down.
All conference and entry passes
For the three Fellows and for one accompanying parent each, where applicable.
Full visa support
Invitation letters from Fizzmind. Required supporting documentation. Application guidance. Filing remains the family’s responsibility.
Six weeks of continued coaching
Two 1-on-1 calls per week with your personal coach. Async code review. Demo rehearsals. Pitch coaching.
Polish and production support
Help producing the demo video, the landing page, the booth visuals, and any printed leave-behind.
Still Fellows.
Forever.
Three of the ten go to the expo. The other seven do not. But they remain Wild Minds Fellows. They keep their alumni Slack access. They get introduced to future cohorts of coaches as needed. They are invited to come back as junior mentors in subsequent years.
Nobody walks away feeling like a runner-up. They walk away as Fellows.
The selection of the three is about what suits the project, the timing of the expo, and the readiness of the Fellow. It is not a verdict on talent. The fellowship’s real value is the month, the cohort, and the doors that open afterward — for all ten.
