Build a business + a personal brand

Two skills. Two KHDA certs. Zero filler.

In two weeks you'll build a real business and the personal brand to sell it, the two pillars that actually move the needle on a college application.

Entrepreneurship
Idea to real pitch.

Find a problem. Build a fix. Pitch it.

Talk to real customers. Pitch on demo day to a room of founders, investors, and parents. You leave with a startup deck and a story you can actually tell on an application.

Personal Branding
A personal brand that opens doors.

Build a profile that gets you noticed.

A portfolio site, a LinkedIn that doesn't embarrass you, and a personal pitch that lands internships. The same playbook the top 1% of students use to get noticed by universities and employers.

Why give up your summer?

Two weeks here beats two months scrolling.

Your peers will spend July on a beach. You'll spend it building things that go on your university application, CV, and LinkedIn. Here's what you actually get.

01

You walk out with proof.

Two KHDA-attested certificates, verifiable, official, ready to drop into your university application, CV, or LinkedIn. Not “I went to a camp.” Actual recognised skills.

02

You get the AI edge.

Every session uses AI as a working tool, not a topic. You leave fluent in the workflows top universities and employers expect in 2026, without becoming “the AI kid.”

03

You build something real.

A startup pitch you delivered to a real room. A LinkedIn recruiters notice. A portfolio with your name on it. Things you can point at, not worksheets you forget.

Quick answers

Everything else.

Why just two certificates?+
Because two is enough to actually move the needle in a summer. We focused on the two pillars students said made the biggest difference, Entrepreneurship and Personal Branding, and rebuilt them around AI. Deeper, not wider.
Is it really AI-powered?+
Yes. AI is the working tool throughout: research, build, draft, ship, present. Not a separate “AI module.” You leave fluent in the workflows top universities and employers expect in 2026. Certificates are issued in their original disciplines (Entrepreneurship, Personal Branding).
How much does it cost?+
AED 249 flat for the full two-week program and both KHDA certificates. One simple price, no add-ons.
Where is it held?+
In-person in Dubai at Curtin University. Registered students are notified first with full venue details.
Are the KHDA certificates real?+
Yes. Each pillar completion earns a KHDA-attested certificate (Permit #633441) recognised by UAE universities and employers.
What if I want to continue into Foundation?+
Foundation runs across the school year from September. Finish Summer Labs, then continue into Foundation to build all 6 pillars. Ask us and we'll help you enrol.
Who is this NOT for?+
If you want a chill, watch-the-clock summer camp, this isn't it. Summer Labs is for students who want a head start they can put on a CV, and are willing to actually show up for two weeks to earn it.
