Why ApexLab exists
Most "intro to AI" courses are trash. They're either:
- Expensive bootcamps that teach you to copy-paste code
- Academic courses drowning you in math you'll never use
- Flashy programs with zero real projects to show
ApexLab fixes this. Small cohort. Real mentors who actually ship products. Projects you can show off to anyone.
This isn’t a club for everyone.
You don’t need permission to build. You need a place that pushes you, gives honest feedback and teams that will not accept anything half-done. Apex is that place.
- Zero-to-shipped project in 21 days
- Small cohort — focused feedback and real accountability
- Mentors who actually ship products, not slides
$50 — less than your monthly coffee habit. Real outcomes. Real telling stories.

Questions from future builders
Still not convinced?
This isn't for everyone. If you want to build real AI projects and learn from people who actually ship products, this is it.
If you want to watch videos and get a certificate, YouTube is free.
Yes. We start from zero. Sarah had never written a line of code and built a brain-controlled music player. Curiosity beats experience every time.
3 live sessions per week, ~6 hours total. Plus project time you control. Think of it like a sport you actually love.
Most bootcamps teach you to copy code. We teach you to solve problems. You'll ship a real project, not a todo app.
Maybe. Better question: will you build something worth talking about? A working AI project beats generic volunteer hours.
We spend time exploring all 6 fields. Plus our mentors help you find what clicks. You're not locked in Day 1.
It's less than a monthly coffee habit. You get mentorship, community, and a real project. If it's not life-changing, we refund you.
