Applied AI Education Program  ·  Limited to 20 Schools

Build Real.
Work Like
the Industry. Not a course. A build program.

Your students won't just study AI solutions — they'll build the same technology that companies like Google, Amazon, Siemens, and IBM are paying engineers to build right now. Two weeks. Real projects. Real tools. In your classrooms.

NODO — The Problem
The Problem

AI Is Reshaping Every Industry. Most Schools Are Still Teaching About It.

School leaders know this conversation is coming — from parents, boards, and students. Most available options fall into the same three traps.

01

Too Superficial to Be Credible

Introductory workshops produce good photos but no real learning outcomes. Students leave having heard about AI — not worked with it.

02

Too Theoretical to Matter

Academic AI curricula focus on concepts and case studies. Students learn what AI does in the world — but never do what AI engineers actually do.

03

Too Dependent on What You Don't Have

Most programs require trained teachers, lab infrastructure, or months of onboarding. NODO arrives complete — and runs in your classrooms from day one.

NODO solves this →

Real industry project briefs. Working AI systems students build themselves. Delivered in-house with all equipment and instructors provided. No prerequisite infrastructure required.

NODO — The NODO Model
The NODO Model

A Startup Incubator Model. Inside Your School.

NODO doesn't run a course. It runs an incubator. Students operate as startup teams — receiving real industry project briefs, building working solutions, and iterating through daily build sprints.

The NODO AI Box provides the hardware and software platform. The 6-hour daily structure provides the container. What happens inside is real engineering work.

"Your students won't just be building school projects — they'll be doing the same work that companies like Google, Amazon, and Siemens are paying engineers to do right now."

2-Week Sprint Structure
Phase 01
Days 1–2

Team Formation & Industry Briefing

Projects assigned. Real companies introduced. Problem scope defined. Teams receive their first industry brief.

Phase 02
Days 3–7

Build & Prototype

Supervised development sprints with daily team standups. Students build working AI solutions using the NODO AI Box.

Phase 03
Days 8–9

New Project Brief

Teams receive their next industry project. The cycle repeats — each new brief at greater complexity, building on skills from the previous sprint.

>>
Phase 04
Day 10

Final Build & Completion

Students complete their final project, leaving with 3–4 working AI solutions built from real industry templates.

Each day mirrors a real product development cycle: Language → Code → Build. Students spend 2 hours on English technical communication, 2 hours on Python programming, and 2 hours on applied AI project work using the NODO AI Box.

NODO — Real Projects
Real Projects. Real Industry.

Students Build What the Industry Builds.

Every project in the NODO curriculum is modelled on a real commercial product — the same technology that funded companies are building and deploying right now.

Projects are assigned by age pathway and scaled in complexity. Each student completes 3–4 projects over the two weeks.

Students leave the program having built working AI systems — not completed worksheets. These are portfolio-grade outputs modelled on technology from some of the world's most recognized companies.

NODO — Daily Structure
Daily Structure

6 Hours. Language → Code → Build.

Every day mirrors the incubator's rhythm. Students work in the language of the industry, write the code that powers AI, then apply it directly to their current project build — in sequence, by design.

Block 01
2H
English Language

Industry vocabulary, technical communication, and daily briefings — all in English. The same language students will use in their careers.

>>
Block 02
2H
Python Programming

Real code from day one. Students write the Python that directly drives their project build in block three — no abstract exercises.

>>
Block 03
2H
AI Box Project Build

Applied engineering on the NODO AI Box platform. Students implement, test, and iterate on their industry project — building something real, every day.

NODO — Age Pathways
Age Pathways

Three Pathways.
Same Industry Projects.
Scaled Complexity.

Each pathway receives real-world project types — complexity scales with grade level. A Grade 6 and a Grade 11 student both work on industry-equivalent AI problems, each at the edge of their capability.

Foundation Level
Pathway 01
Grades 5–7
Foundation
Max 20 students · 3 projects

Students learn how AI makes decisions — then build systems that make decisions.

  • Train simple ML models (k-NN, Decision Trees)
  • Basic computer vision: color detection and classification
  • Sensor and AI logic integration
  • Speech-to-text fundamentals
  • Python basics
>> Outcome

Students finish with 3 working AI projects — industry-modelled systems they built, tested, and can explain.

Intermediate Level
Pathway 02
Grades 8–10
Applied AI
Max 20 students · 3–4 projects

Students build and improve real AI models — the full engineering workflow, not just the output.

  • Full ML workflow: train/test split and evaluation
  • Transfer learning with CNNs
  • Edge AI deployment
  • Data visualization
  • Applied Generative AI
>> Outcome

Students graduate with 3–4 working AI systems and a foundation for university-level AI coursework.

Advanced Level
Pathway 03
Grades 11–12
AI Engineering
Max 20 students · 4 projects

Students work at the level of junior AI engineers — designing architecture and deploying complete systems.

  • Neural network architecture
  • Custom model development
  • System design and optimisation
  • Multi-sensor fusion
  • AI ethics and bias detection
>> Outcome

Students complete 4 end-to-end AI engineering projects — meaningful portfolio work for university applications.

NODO — Why This Cohort
Why This Cohort

Limited to 20 Schools. By Design, Not Constraint.

This is the inaugural delivery of the NODO program — deliberately small, closely supported, and directly overseen by our team. Every participating school works with us throughout.

01

Priority Platform Access

First access to the completed NODO AI platform at launch — ahead of general availability.

02

Preferential Pricing

Cohort schools receive preferential pricing on future programs and long-term AI lab integration.

03

Direct NODO Team Access

A direct channel to our team throughout — not a support ticket, a conversation.

04

Founding School Recognition

A formal record of participation as a founding NODO school, and the institutional positioning that carries.

We are not asking schools to take a risk on an untested idea. The curriculum is built. The projects are defined. The instructors are trained. The equipment is ready. The cohort limit exists because quality delivery requires it — not because the program is unfinished.
