Build something real.
An 8-week building experience for the next generation of 2056 Club — designed for 15–18-year-olds ready to turn ideas into action.
Over eight weeks, Fellows will form teams, find a problem worth solving, speak to real users, and build a working prototype using modern AI tools.
They won't do it alone.
Each week brings access to founders, investors, builders and mentors from within the 2056 community — people who can challenge their thinking, share what they have learned, and help them move from idea to execution.
No coding experience required. No startup idea required. Curiosity is.
What Fellows will experience
From the first idea to the final presentation, the Bootcamp follows a simple principle: learn by building.

Every Fellow finishes the Bootcamp with something tangible: a project, a portfolio, a team experience and a story they can call their own.
But the longer-term ambition goes further. Graduates become part of the 2056 NextGen community — connecting a generation that may study, build, invest and create alongside one another for decades to come.
Because some of the most valuable relationships they build today will still matter in 2056.
