Lead a Human-AI Team to Create Your Dream Start Up Research Paper Social Venture Documentary Start Up
A 12-week residency for high-school students to learn leading a Human & AI team.
Who We Are
CreateBud was started by educators and AI researchers who saw that students are being prepared for a world that no longer exists. Schools still focus on memorization and small projects, while the real world now rewards people who know how to work with AI to create meaningful, original work.
Our goal is simple: help students build one extraordinary project using AI, mentors, and modern tools — and turn that project into something that stands out in college applications and beyond.
Why Students (and Parents) Feel Lost Today
AI is changing everything
But most schools have not adapted fast enough to teach students how to use these tools effectively.
Students have real interests
But they often do not know how to turn those interests into strong, impressive projects.
Basic projects no longer stand out
Traditional research papers and generic activities are no longer enough to feel distinctive.
The 12-Week Program

Find Your Idea
We start with a 1:1 call to understand each student’s interests. Together, we help them discover and refine a strong project idea while teaching how to effectively use AI tools alongside a human teammate.

Build the Project
Students build their project step by step with guidance. We help them choose the right combination of AI tools and human support to bring their idea to life effectively.

Polish & Share
We refine the final project into a polished, high-quality piece that clearly showcases the student’s work and impact.
