UMAM ACADEMY

Skills that outlast the tools.

Practical, hands-on training that helps real people build real things. Here are the two programs we are running now.

AI & COMPUTATIONAL THINKINGCOURSE 01

AI & Computational Thinking for Kids

Build the thinking skills to understand, create, and innovate with AI. No coding needed.

Audience: Ages 12 and above
Duration: 6 weeks
Format: Live + hands-on
Outcome: Capstone + certificate

This program takes learners from everyday problem-solving all the way to building their own working AI project, without assuming any prior coding experience. First they learn to think clearly, then they discover how machines learn, and finally they create with AI responsibly.

The tone is mature and hands-on, built for pre-teens and teenagers rather than young children. Every week ends in a tangible “I made this” moment.

What's included

A working vocabulary for talking about AI accurately
At least one AI model each learner trains and tests themselves
A finished capstone project, presented to peers and parents
A habit of asking sharp questions about how technology works
A certificate tied to real, demonstrated work

Currently delivered in partnership with a school.

What learners say

Alhamdulillah today, not yet perfect in designing but I'm no longer an illiterate in it. I can confidently say my consistency and perseverance have paved the way for me. I'll never forget being grateful to you too; you invested your energy, resources, time and every other thing which may be unknown to us in ensuring the course is worth it.

Alhamdulillah, this is the best course I have registered for so far, and I'm looking forward to more in shaa Allah. May Allah continue to increase you in beneficial knowledge and make the knowledge learnt useful for all designHers.

Every penny I paid for this class was worth it. I love how structured the course is, the feeling of being in a classroom. This class is very different from all the graphic design classes I've ever attended.

Why Umam Academy

Built around real projects
