Who Can Join?
Academy X is open to girls aged 14–18 who want to explore tech and entrepreneurship through practical learning. It’s designed to be beginner-friendly—so you don’t need prior experience, just the commitment to show up, participate, and do the work.
Product Thinking
Learn how to spot real problems, define a clear user, and shape an idea into a focused product concept you can actually build.
UI/UX Design
Map user flows, create wireframes, and apply usability fundamentals—so your product feels simple, intuitive, and easy to use.
Interface & Prototyping
Turn wireframes into polished screens using layout, typography, color, and components—then prototype interactions so your design feels real.
Build with AI
Use AI tools for research, ideation, and prototyping—while learning responsible use, smart prompting, and when not to rely on AI.
Project + Entrepreneurship
Work in a team to build an end-to-end project, learn the basics of entrepreneurship, and finish with a confident demo-day pitch you can proudly showcase.
Hands-On Sessions
Short explanations, then straight into coding. You’ll write real code almost every session, test your work, break things, and fix them again. By practicing this loop, you stop being afraid of errors and start thinking like a problem-solver.
Team Projects
You won’t be working alone. You’ll join a small team, split roles (developer, designer, presenter, coordinator, etc.), and ship a project together. You’ll experience how real tech teams deal with ideas, deadlines, and disagreements.
Workshops & Activities
Beyond regular classes, you’ll join focused workshops, mini-challenges, and friendly competitions. These activities push you to think creatively, solve problems under time pressure, and apply what you’ve learned in new ways.
Showcases & Recognition
At the end of the program, many cohorts have a demo or presentation day. Your team presents its project to instructors, guests, or partners, receives feedback, and gets recognized for the work you’ve done—something real to point to after Kuwait Codes ends.
