Plett Glamping

Remember when computers were just keyboards you plugged into TVs, and we'd rewire joysticks just to play games?

I do.

Back then, we'd scour imported magazines for coding tips, squeezing every ounce of potential from our 48k machines in order to created bitmapped representations of reality.

Fast forward to today.

Our kids have supercomputers in their pockets, with the world's knowledge and computing power at their fingertips. Yet, most are stuck in consume-only mode.

That's why I founded The Foundational Academy of AI Wranglers, LLM Whisperers, Bot Makers and Automata.

We're reigniting that innovative spirit in today's teens. Our program transforms passive scrollers into digital pioneers, teaching them to harness AI, command language models, build bots, and create automated systems. It's about using those pocket supercomputers to their full potential, just like we did with our old Spectrums 48k's.

If you've got a teen aged 14-18 who's glued to their device, let's put that screen time to work:

Ever feel like your kid's glued to their screen, but not really building their future? I get it. That's why I founded The Foundational Academy of AI Wranglers, LLM Whisperers, Bot Makers and Automata.

The program transforms kids from passive scrollers into digital creators. They learn to harness AI, command language models, build bots, and design automated systems. (It's like turning their Minecraft obsession into real-world superpowers.)

Here's the game-changer: these skills are so in-demand, our graduates could find themselves launching successful tech ventures before they even consider college.

We're not just preparing them for the future job market – we're enabling them to create their own opportunities in the digital economy right now.

If you've got a teen aged 13-17 who's into tech but needs direction, here's your next move: https://tally.so/r/woOXRO

I'm on a mission to turn screen time into skill-building time. If you're ready to see your teen's eyes light up with purpose when they reach for their devices, let's chat.

Hey; how much time do your kids spend on their screens?? I'm kickstarting a new 'thing'; the main idea behind it is turning 'screentime to teamtime': getting them to use their devices to build stuff and not only consume stuff.

"What a place!"

"I kept this as a surprise getaway for my husband’s birthday, and I just heard “Thank you so much” the entire weekend. Let’s just say, I felt just as surprised as him."

"We have always wanted to go ‘Glamping’ as they say, but everything just seemed out of budget, or too far to travel to, to make it worth it. Then I came across Alan’s place and couldn’t be more excited. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the wonderful Mari, and to our amazement - a beautiful campsite all to ourselves."

"The extra touches from the entire kitchen tent packed with everything you could need and more, to the cutest little details, like the fairy lights, the rugs in the tents, the ‘safari’ chairs to relax in under the pecan trees & the books and solar lanterns to make your stay extra cosy."

"My husband couldn’t get enough of the fire/braai area, and sat there almost all night star-gazing and listening to the birds. We loved it so much, we started planning to come back in Winter again!"

"Thank you so much Alan and Mari. You really made it so easy to have all the luxuries of getting away, without travelling to far, or even breaking the bank. We loved it!”
