Startup School is a series of guided online trainings and workshops designed to equip early-stage startup founders with the tools, products, and knowledge that growing companies need.
Through a series of guided online trainings and workshops, the program empowers non-technical and creative founders, as well as pre-entrepreneurs to ideate, design, and validate prototypes using intuitive, prompt-based tools like Gemini, Nano Banana, Imagen, and Veo in AI Studio.
This is a program where you will roll up your sleeves and build. Using Google's powerful and intuitive AI toolkit, you will learn to transform your ideas into tangible, interactive prototypes, proving that you no longer need to be a coder to be a creator.
After the two week program, participants will be invited to submit their prototypes. A select number of outstanding submissions will be invited to present their prototypes at the "Build the Future" Showcase, which will take place in January. Select participants will have the opportunity to receive mentoring from Google experts.
Become a visionary who can now ideate, research, design and build at lightning speed.

AI Prototyping Sandbox: Mastering Google AI Studio
The simple chat interface is a black box; it's time to open it.
Welcome to AI Studio prototyping workshop. You will learn to control the AI's engine, tune its creativity with "temperature," and force it to return clean, structured JSON data — a game-changer for building real products. The capstone skill: translating a chat prototype into the exact Python or JavaScript code your app needs with the "Get Code" button.

AI Orchestrator: Deploying, Scaling, and Winning
A prototype on your laptop is just a dream; a live URL is a business. In our final session, we demystify deployment. You'll take the app you built in Session 5 and, following a simple, AI-guided process, launch it on Cloud Run to get a public, shareable link. You will walk away with a real, working tool on the internet, completing the journey from prompt to a globally accessible product.
