Don't just consume AI.
Build with it.
Build real websites, web apps and AI assistants with today's AI tools. Put them in your portfolio, use them for your Travail de Maturité, or turn them into your first paid work.
Turn screen time into purpose, community and real-world impact.
I want to join →You've probably asked yourself…
"Will AI take my job?"
Nobody knows. But the people who'll thrive are the ones who know how to use AI to build things. 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.
What do you want to build with AI?
AI Builder
Pick your own idea and make it real: a website, a web app (not a mobile app) or an AI assistant (chatbot). Picture a web app with its own users and transactions, or a sustainability tool that tackles a real problem. Build solo or in a team of up to four. Perfect if you already have something you want to create.
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.
4 stages, 0 experience required
The Rendez-Vous
Meet founders, engineers and guest experts. We talk honestly about AI, jobs and what's actually changing. Ask questions, find your direction, and build connections that open doors to internships and future opportunities.
The Bootcamp
You build your first real project from scratch. We teach vibe coding and AI-assisted creation. No special background is needed to start, and if you already know the basics of programming, even better. You leave with something that actually works.
Local Club & Incubation
Keep building your project with weekly workshops and regular mentoring, whatever your path: your own AI Builder idea, real client work through AI Creator Studio, or your Travail de Maturité. Over a full season, you grow your prototype into a finished Capstone project.
Capstone Showcase & Opportunities
Present your Capstone project to peers, mentors, schools and businesses. Today, good grades alone are no longer enough: the top universities and competitive schools look for a standout, real-world side-project. This is yours. Use it for your Travail de Maturité, internship and university applications, and competitions.
Build something great. Win for it.
The best Travail de Maturité project in Switzerland wins a cash first prize. And it doesn't stop there: throughout the year we run challenges, hackathons and showcases, with new prizes we raise specifically to reward and keep our community building.
Concrete, not just slides
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.
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.
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.
Strong institutional backing
A project supported by a robust network of partners across Vaud and Switzerland.
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 youthMore 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
Be the first to know when applications open
No commitment. Tell us a bit about you and what you'd love to build, and we'll reach out as soon as registrations open. It takes about two minutes.
