Real talk

You've probably asked yourself…

"Will AI take my job?"

Nobody knows. But the people who'll thrive are the ones who can build with AI, creating digital projects that serve humanity, prioritise sustainability and advance inclusivity. That's exactly what we teach.

"Can't I just learn it online?"

You can start. But when you get stuck, who answers your questions? Most people quit because there's no one to ask. Here you get real mentors and a project you actually finish.

Choose your path

What do you want to build with AI?

💸

AI Creator Studio

A two-sided studio. Local businesses and organisations that can't afford a professional submit real projects. You pick the one you want and build it, earning pocket money for your work.

🎓

Travail de Maturité Builder

Turn your Travail de Maturité into a real, deployable AI project, not just a report. We give you technical guidance from start to defence.

Your journey

4 stages, 0 experience required

Built on our Rendez-Vous Catalytic Model. Real momentum doesn't come from watching tutorials alone. It comes from the right people in the same room at the right moment. Each stage is designed to spark that, turning an idea and a bit of curiosity into a finished project, a team and real connections. Here's how it works in practice.

Why us

What sets us apart

🧬

Pioneers in Generative AI

Highly innovative GenAI workshops and bootcamps, not generic coding classes. You build with the tools shaping the next decade.

🌟

World-class mentoring

Guidance from Hollywood animation director Jamy Wheless, plus 15+ senior engineers and AI architects from Nexthink and Oracle Volunteering. That's a real edge.

🤝

A new model of integration

Young refugees, migrants and locals create together as one team. Most organisations either run for profit for locals or serve only refugees. We bring everyone into the same studio.

🏛️

Strong institutional backing

A project supported by a robust network of partners across Vaud and Switzerland.

Open to everyone

Locals, refugees and migrants, building together

One programme, every background

Eden-Well is built for locals, refugees and migrants alike, all in the same programme and the same age range, building side by side. We believe young people from every background should be architects of the digital world, not just users of it.

Annual membership keeps the community running. Refugees and underserved youth pay a reduced rate, and sponsored places are available so cost is never the reason someone can't take part.

Reduced & sponsored places for refugees and underserved youth
Our impact

More than a programme: a talent pipeline

By equipping young people with real, hands-on AI skills before university, Eden-Well helps build Switzerland's resilience and a more inclusive digital future.

🧠

Closing the talent gap

Preparing a generation that can actually put AI tools to work, not just talk about them.

🌍

Inclusion by design

Making sure migrants and underserved youth help shape the digital square, not just watch it being built.

⚖️

Ethics and values

Moving from black-box tools to transparent, responsible creation, and discussing the values built into what students make.

Built with people who back youth
