Comet Academy

For parents

Three weeks after school, building something real.

A small, live class in the evenings where your child designs and builds a working product, start to finish. On the last day they show you the finished thing.

There is a finished thing at the end

Not a folder of exercises. One working gadget, app or product, presented live on the last day, that your child can show to an admissions officer or an employer.

Three teenagers building small robots at a table.

Small, live and supervised

A fixed number of places, twelve live classes, and the instructor checking every student's work each week. Nobody quietly drifts, because progress is shown to the group.

A notebook with sketches and planning notes on a desk.

They learn judgement, not just software

The first week is spent deciding whether an idea is worth the effort at all — who wants it, what it costs, how long it takes. That habit outlasts every tool taught in the other two weeks.

What the three weeks look like.

  1. Week 1

    Set up and choose

    Their computer is set up in a single step. Then they pick what to build and test the idea against real questions: who wants this, what does it cost, can it be done in three weeks.

  2. Week 2

    Build it, with AI tools

    Supervised, hands-on work with the current generation of AI tools — the same ones professionals use. Every class is recorded and yours to keep.

  3. Week 3

    Finish and present

    The project goes live, gets shown to real people, and is presented to the group on the last day.

What should you build?

Answer three questions and we will suggest a real project, with what it costs and how long it takes. No sign-up, no email.

Deciding what to make is the hardest part of the first week. Doing it now means arriving with the decision already made.

Question 1 of 3

What would you rather have when you're finished?

$4,100 of value. $950 for the seat.

The AI usage alone would cost more than the fee. The electronics kit arrives before the first class. Every recording stays yours.

Who runs it

Jack Baum

Founder, General Intelligence Services

Jack Baum has spent his career moving real things: infrastructure projects between governments, goods across borders, commercial buildings in New York.

Now he builds the software that runs them. Station CRM, HardhatOS, Envkeep — shipped, in production, and public for anyone to read.

He is not a teacher who once built something. He builds every week, and this course is the method he uses.

In three weeks it gets you to the same place: a thing that exists.

Questions worth asking.

Three weeks of after-school that adds up to something.

At the end, ask them to show you what they made. That is the whole promise, and you will be able to see for yourself whether it happened.
