Four Days On-Site, Thirty Days of Real Work
The Bootcamp exists to deliver an income-relevant skill fast. Businesses, digital creators, and brands everywhere are scaling video marketing, which makes a high-converting AI-assisted sales video an immediate way to earn. A concentrated four-day residential intensive lowers the barrier for students who cannot commit to a multi-week course, and produces measurable outcomes in a single week.
But short training with no follow-up rarely sticks. That is why the Bootcamp is a 4+30 model. Phase 1 is the on-site intensive — arrive Tuesday, graduate Saturday, with tools setup, prompting workflows, and a rendered final sales video. Phase 2 is a 30-day portfolio period: weekly client-style challenges on WhatsApp, live office hours, and a final portfolio review. Graduates leave with a real portfolio — and a skill local businesses will pay for.
Travel, settle, and set up. Workspace configuration, platform setups, orientation, and a baseline diagnostic (not graded). Deliverable: setup checklist & baseline score.
Prompting anatomy and the 5-layer method — identity, world, task, examples, constraints. Deliverable: personal prompt template.
Hook construction, narrative arcs, customer-language research, and calls-to-action. Deliverable: finished commercial video script.
Generate footage from scripts and product photos; add voice, timing, scoring, and first edits. Deliverable: first-draft rendered video.
Cumulative final exam (pass with 70%), live panel rubric grading, and awards. Deliverable: final presentation & Certificate of Completion.

“Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.” The Bootcamp is taught by Styner Stiner, who founded Kuumba Code to put world-class digital skills in the hands of people too often left out. Every cohort stays small enough for individual attention, and every student leaves having actually made something.
