Get paid to bring your ideas to life.
Sherpas AI - Harpenden edition. You build real AI tools for real Harpenden organisations. You get paid. You meet other teens who are doing the same. And you walk into any uni or job interview with a portfolio most adults haven’t got.

Three ways in. Pick whichever fits your week.
Monthly.
Year-round community.
An evening a month with other Harpenden teens building with AI. Bring a project, bring a question, bring a friend.
Bookable.
Work experience.
We match you to a Harpenden business that wants to use AI properly. You help them, you get the experience, everyone wins.
Why this matters for you
The world is changing fast. Your move.
The way our parents got into careers - university, then entry-level job, then climb the ladder - is shifting hard under everyone’s feet. The teenagers who build now, who can show what they’ve made, who can talk to AI like it’s a tool not a toy, are the ones who’ll have the most options.
You don’t need to be a coder. You don’t need to be top of the class. You need an idea, a tiny bit of grit, and somewhere safe to try.
Teens & families
The school system in the UK is broken
Why our children's education can't rely on the old assumptions - and what Sherpas AI proves is possible in its place.
