Breakout Mentors offers the most hands-on way to learn coding fundamentals through advanced computer science for late elementary, middle, and high school students. Through consistent challenges your son or daughter will build independence and grit while having fun.
For nearly 15 years we provided exclusively one-on-one instruction. This is crucial for challenging the student at the perfect pace and making open-ended projects to keep them engaged. In this format our mentors can tailor to the individual learning style of each student and give them the space to think independently. The depth in computer science knowledge our students acquire over months of years is tough to replicate anywhere else and sticks long-term.
There is also a case to be made for breadth of learning. By gaining exposure to wide-ranging topics, students can better understand the different opportunities and applications available to them. Code is everywhere you look in today’s modern world, but it isn’t always obvious: some kids believe coding is just about making videos games!
The Breakout Mentors Small Group Workshops are a perfect solution.
Format
- Held online over video conference.
- Led by one of our talented kids coding mentors. They are fun engineering students from top tier colleges.
- Limited group sizes so the mentor is able to individually help students with their code.
- Each workshop will have a different session length. Some may be split over multiple days.

Fine-Tune Your Own AI Image Models into Published Apps
Time: 3 days of 2 hours each, Tuesday 12/26 to Thursday 12/28, 10:30am-12:30pm PST / 1:30-3:30pm EST
Price: $249 ($41/hr)
Maximum Spots: 4
Have you played around with the cutting edge AI image generation through OpenAI’s Dalle, Midjourney, and StableDiffussion? Or maybe you’ve used a website to create professional headshots or see what you’d look like as a Pixar character? Did you know it is now within your reach to make your own apps powered by the same technology?
This multi-part workshop will take you through how to fine-tune an image model and publish it as a web application. We will explore several cutting edge types of projects:
- Create images of yourself using a text-prompt
- Create images in a certain style
- With the output you can face swap from another image, generate video, and more. Learn how to find new models to use.
By the end of the workshop you will have your own custom AI app that is live on the internet!
Who is this for and what are the prerequisites? The workshop is designed for 14 year-olds to seniors in high school. The only prerequisite is 3 months or more programming in a language like Python, JavaScript, or Java. We will cover everything you’ll need to know for the AI model coding in Python and web app coding in JavaScript.
