things you leave with
Welcome

Before the stage, an hour on what this week actually means. Models will keep getting better and cheaper; the skills that stay valuable are taste, judgment, and knowing real people and real problems. You now own a live URL, a video, and a first-revenue story. That is a portfolio, and portfolios beat resumes everywhere that matters, including college applications.

You walk out with
A map of where AI is going
The portfolio-beats-resume frame
A named next project
Why this session exists

A camp ends. A builder's habit compounds. This hour is the difference between a certificate that ends up in a drawer and a portfolio that gets you into rooms.
