Stop Talking About Your Ideas. Start Building Them.
“I feel like I now have a super power.”AI Day Workshop Student
There’s a folder on your phone right now. Notes app, Google Doc, maybe a voice memo you recorded at 1am because the idea wouldn’t let you sleep. You’ve been collecting these for months, maybe years. You know exactly which folder I’m talking about.
A booking tool for your business. A dashboard that would save your team hours every week. A website for the thing you’ve been describing at dinner parties for two years. Something only you would think of, because only you have this exact problem.
You looked into hiring a developer. The quotes came back: $8,000. $25,000. One guy said $40,000 and four months. You closed the laptop and went back to your day.
You tried the no-code tools. Got excited for a weekend, got 60% of the way there, then hit a wall that no YouTube tutorial could fix. The half-finished project is still sitting in your browser bookmarks.
At some point, “I’m not technical enough” stopped being something you said and started being something you believed. That changes here.
You don’t need more ideas. You need a way to build the ones you already have. Now you have one.
“I feel like a little kid with a Lego putting together new construction pieces and creating new opportunities. I think there was before and after this workshop.”Entrepreneur, Lisbon
What used to require a developer and a budget now takes you, your laptop, and a conversation.
“It’s been honestly so eye-opening, and Nick was so great. He would come around and help me, and he’s actually helped me get further into helping me with what I’m trying to build.”Tech Company Founder
Five steps. Every session. That’s it.
Bring your idea to the live session. A napkin sketch, a voice memo, three sentences in your notes app. That’s all you need.
Each session starts with a new technique, tool, or shortcut. You walk in knowing more than you did yesterday.
Tell AI what you want in plain English. No code, no technical language. Just describe it like you would to a friend.
AI writes the code in real time while you steer every decision. Stuck? Our coaches are right there to help you think through it and keep moving.
Walk away with a working project you built yourself. Something you can use, share, or sell today.
Every idea you’ve shelved was stopped by the same sentence: “I’d need a developer for that.” After this program, the sentence is different: “I’ll build it myself.”
Start Building“Everything that you learned is going to make your life or your business easier.”Business Owner, AI Day Attendee
Who builds at Light School
Real projects, built by real people, in real sessions.
Replaced a $200/month scheduling tool with a custom-built system that matched the brand perfectly. Built in two sessions.
A founder needed a way to track projects without paying for expensive software. Now their whole team uses it daily.
A consultant built a portal for delivering reports and files to clients. It paid for the entire program in the first month.
“I learned a lot and to be honest, building my idea was just extra to practise using the tools but in general I have a way better understanding of AI and how I can use this to make my life easier.”Creative Professional
Everything you need to go from idea to working project. Nothing you don’t.
Two sessions every week. Bring an idea and leave with a working project you built yourself.
Nick explains everything without jargon or coding language and builds right alongside you.
You describe what you want. AI builds it in real time. You make every decision.
Websites, dashboards, tools, automations, apps, client portals. If you can describe it, you can build it.
A private group of people doing exactly what you’re doing: turning ideas into real projects. Share wins, troubleshoot together, and stay accountable.
Recordings of every live session, organized by topic and project type. Rewatch any build or catch up on your own schedule.
A private 30-minute session with our coaches to review your idea backlog and help you prioritize. You leave with a clear plan for what to build first.
Full access to the Light School Campus with step-by-step setup guides, tutorials, and reference material. Available 24/7.
“I think you guys need to check it out. Honestly, it’s something that’s going to take you 20 minutes when you know how to do it. But it would take you a few hours to learn how and from there you really scale and multiply. Amazing!”Repeat Workshop Attendee
You’ve got the creativity. Now unlock the ability to build. Two sessions a week. Real projects. A coach who builds alongside you.
Start Building“I think this is going to be half of my work life now. I think there was before and after this workshop.”Startup Founder, Lisbon
This program works best for a specific kind of person. Here’s how to know if that’s you.
“I feel like I got a lot out of it. So I’m going to think about how I can optimise and streamline some of my personal tasks, but then also how I can apply that to my business as well.”Founder & Optimizer
Creative Technologist, Business Coach & Teacher
Nick spent 15 years in the rooms where software gets built. As a CTO and engineer, he shipped products, led teams, and solved the kinds of problems that keep founders awake at 2am. He knows how the technical world works because he lived in it.
Then he noticed something. The most interesting people he met, the ones with the best ideas, were always on the outside of that world. They could see exactly what needed to be built but couldn’t build it themselves. So he started teaching regular people how to turn their ideas into real, working things using AI.
His style is hands-on and jargon-free. He sits next to you and builds alongside you. He has a way of making complicated things feel obvious, and a track record of helping people surprise themselves with what they can create.
You don’t need a co-founder or a computer science degree. You need the right tools, a guide who’s done this for 15 years, and two hours a week.
Start BuildingA coding bootcamp runs $15,000 to $20,000 and takes six months of full-time study. At the end, you can maybe build something simple, and you still need to keep learning for years to build anything serious.
Hiring a developer for a single project costs $5,000 to $50,000. And when you want a change, you pay again. And again. Every new idea is a new invoice. You’re renting someone else’s skills, forever.
This program gives you the ability to build anything you want. Any idea, any time, for as long as you’re a member. Guided by someone who has been building software for 15 years. And unlike hiring a developer, this is a skill you keep forever.
Show up to the sessions. Bring your ideas. Do the work. If you don’t build at least one working project in your first 30 days, we’ll give you a full refund. No forms, no awkward conversations.
If it doesn’t work for you, you shouldn’t pay for it. Simple.
That is exactly who this was built for. You don’t touch code. AI does that part. You describe what you want in plain English, make decisions about how it should work, and watch it come together in front of you. If you can explain an idea to a friend, you already have every skill this requires.
Good. Bring all of them. Before your first live session, you get a 1-on-1 strategy call where you lay out everything in your backlog and our coaches help you pick the one to build first. Not the biggest one. The one with the most momentum. Most people find that finishing one project unlocks a clarity that makes the whole list feel manageable.
That’s fine. Your 1-on-1 strategy session will help you find the right starting project. Most people discover their best ideas once they see what’s possible.
Most people try AI alone, hit a wall in the first twenty minutes, and decide they’re the problem. They’re not. AI tools are powerful but they don’t come with a guide. That’s the difference here. Our coaches know exactly how to talk to these tools, how to structure a project so it actually works, and how to get unstuck when something breaks.
You can’t fall behind. There’s no curriculum to keep pace with. Every session stands on its own. If you miss one, watch the recording and jump right back in next time. Nobody is three lessons ahead of you.
Sessions run twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, live on Zoom. That’s 4:30 to 6:00 PM Central European, 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM New York, or 7:30 to 9:00 AM Los Angeles. Each session is 60 to 90 minutes. Some builders spend extra time between sessions, but it’s not required.
Websites, internal tools, automations, apps, dashboards, client portals, calculators, content generators, personal productivity tools. If you can describe it, you can build it. Your ideas are the curriculum.
Our coaches have over 15 years of experience scoping projects. They’ll help you find the version of your idea that can be built in a session, and then help you expand it over time. Every big project started as a small working prototype.
You leave every session with something you built. You don’t watch videos and hope to apply them someday. You show up, bring your idea, and build it live with a coach and a room full of builders.
3 months. Most people start seeing results in the first 60 minutes.
Mac only. You need a Mac with a charger. We’ll help you get everything set up before your first session.
You’ll need a Claude Pro subscription ($20/month) to use the AI building tools. That’s it. Everything else is included in the program.
Join now and you’ll get your session schedule and everything you need to show up and start building.
Start BuildingEvery idea in that folder was real enough that you wrote it down. Real enough that you kept coming back to it.
The only thing missing was the ability to build it yourself. That part is solved. Pick one idea. Just one. The one that keeps coming back, the one you’ve described to three different people this year. Bring it to the next session. By the end, it won’t be a note anymore. It will be something you built, something you can show someone and say: “I made this.”
Every builder in this program started the same way. One idea and the decision to stop waiting.
