Two continents, one classroom: Lampstand's founding cohort begins
CHILLIWACK, B.C. — The founding cohort of the AI Builders Program began classes today, and it is already proving the school's live-online model: students are attending from both Canada and India, joining the same live sessions across a 12.5-hour time difference. Evening classes in the Fraser Valley are early-morning classes in Bangalore, and both ends of the planet log in to build together.
"A school this size, in its first term, with two continents in the room — that's the point," said founder John Manoah, who teaches every session personally. "We said 'live online from anywhere' and the founding class took us at our word. Nobody is watching recordings of someone else's education; they're building their own applications, live, with an instructor who knows their name."
Over twelve weeks, every student designs, builds, and ships two working AI applications of their own. The cohort runs to December 18, 2026. The next cohort begins February 2027; applications are open at lampstand.school/apply.
