Youth Innovation
AI Chatbot: The Chief AI Entrepreneur Program
EP5 completed or G6+
(*Selected Required)
Program Description
- Coming Fall 2026
- Phase 1: Sep 2026 – Jan 2027｜17 Sessions
- Phase 2: Feb 2027 – Jun 2027｜17 Sessions
This is not just about learning AI — it is about becoming the future CEO and CTO.
We are not looking for ordinary students. We are looking for future Chief Technology Officers and Chief Executive Officers. This selective, year-long program is designed for students in Grade 6 and above, and is structured in two phases across 34 sessions. It recreates the full journey of a technology startup — from zero to one, from product development to market strategy, and from local innovation to the international competitive stage.
This is not simply a class. It is an entrepreneurial journey. Admission is highly selective, with only five students per cohort. Here, students do not merely attend lessons — they take on the role of founders. They build real products, refine them for real users, and prepare to compete on international stages such as the CP and YTC competitions.
Program Overview
PHASE 1 · BUILD
- 17 Sessions
- 14 content sessions + 2 mentoring sessions + 1 Demo Day
- Selective admission · Max 5 students
Phase 1: Build a Real Product from the Ground Up
Phase 1 is the foundation-building stage — the moment students begin to face real-world challenges not as learners in a classroom, but as young founders. From writing their first line of code to launching a working AI product, students experience the full journey of tech entrepreneurship from idea to execution.
>>What Students Learn in Phase 1：
1. AI Core Skills
Large language model fundamentals, prompt engineering, API integration, and building a functional AI chatbot from scratch with multi-turn conversation and personalized features.
2. Product Management Thinking
User research, competitor analysis, and professional PRD writing — learning to define a product like a real product manager.
3. Branding & Commercialization
Product naming, logo creation, visual identity, business model canvas, pricing strategy, market sizing, and marketing channel planning.
4. Launch & Data-Driven Iteration
Official product launch, real user acquisition, and analysis of key metrics such as DAU, retention, and NPS to guide the final round of iteration.
5. Phase 1 Demo Day
A public pitch event for parents, mentors, and industry guests, featuring product demos, business presentations, and Q&A. Students receive a completion certificate and become eligible for Phase 2.
PHASE 2 · COMPETE
- 17 Sessions
- 14 content sessions + 2 mentoring sessions + 1 Final Demo
Open only to outstanding Phase 1 graduates
Phase 2: Compete for CP & YTC on the Global Stage
Phase 2 is built around two major international competitions: Coolest Projects (CP) and Young Tech Challenge (YTC). Students participate in at least one of them, taking their Phase 1 product to the next level and preparing to compete for top international recognition.
>>Competition Highlights
- Coolest Projects — 43 countries; 7,197 creators
- Young Tech Challenge — Judged across both technology and business dimensions

About The Competitions
Students may choose CP, YTC, or both, with personalized guidance from MGA throughout the preparation process.
🌐 Coolest Projects (CP)
Organized by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Coolest Projects is one of the world’s largest showcases for young digital creators.
In 2024, 7,197 participants from 43 countries submitted 4,678 projects across categories including programming, web, mobile apps, and AI.
MGA students submit their AI Chatbot projects to gain real feedback from global audiences and professional judges.
🏆 Young Tech Challenge (YTC)
Young Tech Challenge is an international innovation competition that evaluates both technical excellence and business thinking.
Students are judged on innovation, market value, presentation, and Q&A performance.
At MGA, students further refine their Phase 1 AI Chatbot into a competition-ready product for YTC.
