A membership for 16–25 year olds: part AI academy, part modern-day careers fair. Every month you step inside a different AI or frontier-tech company, work on one of its real challenges with the people who do the job, and pitch your answer to a judging panel.

How is it different from a course or work experience?

A course teaches you about the tools. Work experience is usually one placement, often through who you know. SydeDoor is live, hands-on and new every month: you do real work with AI, for a real company, and you're judged on what you make, not on your grades.

Each edition runs for four weeks, with one live session every Wednesday and 2–3 hours of team work in between. Week 1 you get the brief, week 2 you build with AI, week 3 you test with real users, and week 4 ends with a 48-hour sprint and a judged pitch.

Curious, committed 16–25 year olds who want to explore the future of work, whether you're in high school, at university or early in your career. In breakout rooms you're grouped with peers at the same stage. No grades or CV needed.

Do I need to know how to code or use AI already?

No. You'll learn the tools by using them, with practitioners showing you how. Curiosity and showing up for your team matter more than experience.

Will it fit around school or university?

Yes. Sessions are on Wednesdays, 12–1pm or 5–7pm, GMT and CET, and the team work fits around your week. It's virtual-first, so you can join from anywhere.

We're forming the founding membership now. Join the waitlist and you'll hear first when dates and the first host are confirmed.

Portfolio of proof.

Work you keep and can show, so you're seen for what you can do, not your papers.

Every week opens a new door: a different company building the AI economy, a different brief, a different role to try. Editions are limited and each run only once, which is why SydeDoor is a membership. The value is in the exploring.

Step 1

Enter & explore the world

Step inside a company building the AI economy, meet the people behind it and see how they really work.

Step 2

Experience the work & learn the skills

Take on a real role, learn the AI tools and skills it needs, and tackle the brief with your team.

Step 3

Build your proof & pitch it

Turn your work into something you can show, pitch it for feedback and keep it in your portfolio.
