Most 8th–12th graders use AI to copy answers.

CultivLab teaches them to build with it — small cohort, real project, founder-mentored.

Who CultivLab is for

Four kinds of student. One small cohort.

We pick six students per cohort to keep it personal. The right fit isn't 'good at code' — it's curiosity and follow-through.

The curious creator

Loves art, music, writing, or storytelling. Wants to use AI to make things they couldn't make alone.

Grades 8–12Art · Writing · Music

The future builder

Drawn to coding, robotics, or game design. Wants to build a real working AI project this summer.

Grades 8–12Code · Games · Robotics

The STEM student

Already strong in school. Wants to use AI to go deeper — research, tutoring, simulations, or science.

Grades 9–12Research · Science

College-portfolio prep

Junior or senior building a story for applications. Needs one shippable project they can talk about.

Talk to Ask Cultiv

Describe your student in plain language — grade, what they're into, what you'd hope they take away. Ask Cultiv suggests the best fit.

STEP 02

Ship a project in 2 weeks

Two-week online cohort with founder-led mentors. Your student presents the work to you at the end.

Built for parents first

Four reasons parents trust Cultiv with their student.

Parent-led registration

A parent registers and approves every cohort seat. Students never sign up alone.

Manual approval

Each application is reviewed by Ash before a seat is offered. No auto-approve, no waitlist spam.

Private by default

Cohorts are small and private. Student work is shared only with their parent and cohort mentor.

Responsible AI

We teach AI as a tool — when to use it, when to question it, and how to keep your own voice.
