01Why both cities

Two AI capitals, one week apart.

In June 2026, the two most important AI gatherings in the world happen back-to-back: London Tech Week from 8-12 June, and the Riyadh AI Expo from 14-19 June. Any student who gets into just one of them will have an extraordinary week. The ones who get into both will have a twelve-day frame of reference nobody their age has.

018 – 12 June 2026

London Tech Week

Olympia London. Three days of expo and content stages, plus a fringe event programme across the city. 2026 speakers include ElevenLabs, Perplexity, Microsoft, AWS, Lovable, Airwallex, Wayve, Planet, Isomorphic Labs, and the UK Minister for AI. This is the Western AI frontier gathered in one place.

What students do

Supervised expo floor access, student-track workshops, keynote attendance, and a curated selection of fringe events. Batch B students begin drafting their capstone brief here.

0214 – 19 June 2026

Riyadh AI Expo

The biggest regional AI gathering in the GCC. Saudi Arabia is committing hundreds of billions to AI through 2030, and the expo is where that ecosystem gathers. Students meet Saudi student builders from local schools and see the pace of a build-out that is moving faster than anywhere else.

What students do

Workshops inside the student track, peer meetups, Fairshift partner site visits, and the capstone build-and-demo for Batch B. Safety-literacy workshop for Batch A on the dark side of AI — phishing apps, deepfakes, voice clones.

02Two batches

One cohort. Two age-split programmes.

Twenty students, ten per batch, travelling as one delegation across both cities. Age-appropriate daytime programming; evenings and meals are mixed so the whole cohort meets each other.

Batch A10 students

Ages 13 – 15

Younger builders. Programme leans on guided workshops, supervised exposure to both events, safety literacy, and a structured project they complete across the two weeks.

Best fit

Kids already tinkering with AI at home — chatbots, image generators, small projects they built themselves. Comfortable in new environments with peers their age.

Batch B10 students

Ages 16 – 19

Older builders. More independent project work, structured introductions to student builders in both cities, and a capstone demo on the final day in Riyadh.

Best fit

Students who already write code, already run their own projects, and want to benchmark themselves against peers from around the world.

03Twelve days

Every hour pre-briefed.

05Safety literacy

How AI breaks people. We teach that too.

Our students are about to be capable of building powerful systems. We make sure they also learn how those systems get weaponised — phishing apps dressed up as games, deepfakes, voice clones of a parent's voice used to extract money. They learn to see it coming. And never to build it.

Batch A's dedicated safety workshop happens on Day 9 in Riyadh, after the expo exposure in both cities. Students learn to pattern-match the things they should not be building, and to spot them when a friend builds them.

Batch B students get the operator-grade version across both cities. By nineteen, some of them already have the skills to ship things that affect other people's lives. The responsibility lesson is not theoretical — it is a line they choose not to cross.

07Parent questions

Every question we have been asked. Answered honestly.

Because the two events run back-to-back one week apart. London Tech Week (8-12 June) is where the Western AI frontier gathers — ElevenLabs, Perplexity, Microsoft, AWS, Lovable, Wayve. Riyadh AI Expo (14-19 June) is where the regional AI build-out that is moving faster than anywhere else gathers. We get your kid to both. No other student programme in India offers this pairing.

Your kid is about to decide what AI means to them.
Put them in both rooms.

Twenty seats. Two cities. Twelve days. Apply now and a Fairshift Academy admissions operator will schedule a call with you and your child within two business days.
