SAVANNAH AI BUILD CLUB · AGES 12–18
Bring an idea.
Leave with a beginning.
A practical, two-hour introduction to building with AI—followed by plenty of time for students to team up, try ideas, and make something real.
Bring a laptop and charger.A laptop is required. Students without one can’t participate in this session.
15 of 15 spots remain. A parent or guardian should register.
WHAT THIS IS
An idea, a laptop,
and room to try.
Students will choose a small idea, plan the first version, build it with AI, test it with a real person, and improve what didn’t work. The point isn’t to turn every kid into a coder. It’s to help them become the kind of person who can take an idea and make it real.
No experience is required. A student can arrive with a half-built game, a weird idea, or absolutely no clue what to make yet.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A little teaching. A lot of building.
We’ll meet in the Auditorium at the Jewish Educational Alliance, 5111 Abercorn Street, Savannah, GA 31405. We’ll have a safe shared room, power, internet, and adults nearby.
- 01
AI basics + questions
I’ll teach for about 30–45 minutes and leave room for real questions—not a two-hour lecture.
- 02
Open build time
Students will form teams, open their laptops, and spend the rest of the meeting making something together.
- 03
Come as you are
No coding experience is required. A laptop is required. The ChatGPT desktop app helps, but it isn’t required. Download it here if you’d like.
DEC 3 REGISTRATION
Save their seat.
One form per student, please. Every student must be registered before arriving—there won’t be walk-in registration at the door.
Please don’t include a home address, exact birth date, medical details, passwords, or anything else I don’t need. Registration answers stay private. Any photo or recording permissions will be handled separately in person.
THE PRACTICAL STUFF
Before you come.
Where do we go?
The meetup is in the Auditorium at the JEA, 5111 Abercorn Street, Savannah, GA 31405. Brittani “Brit” Claus from Apogee Savannah will meet families at the front door. Every student must register beforehand; we can’t accept walk-ins.
What should my student bring?
A laptop and charger. A laptop is required, and students without one can’t participate in this session. Any Mac, Windows, or Chromebook laptop with a keyboard is fine.
Does my student need coding experience?
Nope. Beginners are welcome. Students who’ve already built things will have room to go further.
Who can attend?
Students must have already turned 12 and be no older than 18 on December 3. Public, private, homeschool, hybrid, and co-op students are welcome.
Can a parent stay?
Yes. Parents and guardians are welcome to stay and observe quietly from the back while students work.
Will students be photographed or posted online?
We’ll handle recording and photo choices separately in person before the meeting. Signing up does not grant permission to publish your student, and Bud will ask before recording an interview or identifiable footage.
What does it cost?
The December 3 meetup is free.
