Teen Tech Bootcamp

Why this bootcamp matters

The internet does not forget

The online world is powerful — this bootcamp helps them navigate it safely, confidently and wisely.

Teens share photos, stories and jokes without realising how much they reveal. A single picture can give away where they live, which school they attend and when they are usually at home. Add social media and powerful new tools like AI into the mix and the risks climb quickly

This bootcamp gives teens clear, practical skills so they can enjoy the online world while staying safer, more thoughtful and more confident

Your teen will learn how to:

• See how much information a simple photo can leak about them

• Share online without oversharing personal details

• Use social media with intention instead of pressure

• Use AI to study and plan schoolwork without crossing ethical lines or cheating

Trusted by parents who want their teens to be safer, smarter and more confident online.

What your teen will learn

Inside the Teen Tech Bootcamp

Session 1: The hidden clues inside every photo

• How people can work out where you are from one photo

• How backgrounds, uniforms, reflections and street signs give away location

• Simple explanation of metadata in normal language

• Group exercise where teens try to locate example photos then learn how to reduce those clues in their own photos

• Safer ways to share photos while still having fun

Session 2: Social media that does not backfire later

• What really happens when you post, like and share

• How old posts and screenshots can resurface years later

• What should stay private versus what is safer to share

• How recommendation feeds pull you in and how to take back control

• Exercise with a fake teen profile where they fix risky posts and settings

Session 3: Using AI for school the right way

• What AI can and cannot do for homework and revision

• The line between using AI as a tool and crossing into cheating

• How to ask better questions so they learn faster, not lazier

• Checking AI answers and spotting when the tool is making things up

• Practical walk-through of using AI to summarise notes, plan a study session and explain tricky topics, then rewriting in their own words

Everything is explained in clear language with lots of examples. No school-style lecture, just real talk, guided exercises and space to ask questions

Is this a fit for your teen?

Perfect for teens who:

• Spend time online, gaming or scrolling social media

• Are starting to use their own phone, laptop or tablet more independently

• Are curious about tech but do not want a heavy coding or maths camp

• Want to use AI for schoolwork but are unsure what is allowed

• Want to stay safe online but don’t know where to start

Not ideal for teens who:

• Are already in advanced tech programmes and want more technical content only

How each holiday bootcamp runs

• Live online sessions on Zoom with clear schedules and breaks

• Group size kept small enough so everyone can ask questions

• Teens get activities to try during and after the sessions

• Parents receive a follow-up resource with talking points and house rule ideas
