Kids
A first structured opening into AI for a child — not scattered YouTube clips, but a guided track with a live instructor, a graduation project, and a parent who can follow along.
Our mission
Turn AI from something people hear about into a skill they work with.
We teach AI in Arabic, hands-on, for every age — a child meeting AI as a building tool, a professional embedding it in daily work, and a company moving its team from experimentation to real adoption. All of it in live lectures with a real instructor, recorded and kept available, and real projects each student walks away with.
Our goal
To be the first reference for AI education in Egypt and the Middle East.
Not by size — by outcome. The measure we hold ourselves to: every student leaves LUMINA with a real project they can show, and can use AI on their own after the course without us.
We started LUMINA because AI education in the region had a real gap.
LUMINA was founded in 2026 in Cairo as a specialized academy for AI education in Arabic — from kids to professionals. The idea started with a simple observation: anyone learning AI in Arabic was choosing between scattered YouTube clips with no curriculum, or English-language courses translated through terminology disconnected from the local reality.
We set out to build the path we wished existed: live lectures in Arabic, instructors who actually work in AI day-to-day, real tools we use ourselves (ChatGPT, Claude, NotebookLM, Higgsfield, n8n), and a graduation project a student can share on a CV or LinkedIn. Not an "intro course" — a full curriculum.
Today we serve learners across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan — through four individual tracks covering everyone from the curious 7-year-old to the working professional embedding AI in their job — and training programs designed specifically for companies and institutions moving their teams from experimentation to real adoption.
- Ages 7 — 20+
- 4 tracks
- hours per track
- 12 — 36

Individuals and companies — each audience with a track designed for it.
Teens
High-school and university students who want to build, not just consume. We teach prompt engineering and AI tools as real working skills they can add to a CV before graduation.
Professionals
Not an "intro course" — a complete workflow for embedding AI in your real work: analysis, writing, automation, reporting, and client management.
Career switchers
An advanced diploma for those planning a career move into AI — with a graduation project, a verified certificate, and continued support after the course.
Companies & institutions
Training programs designed after assessing each company’s needs — role-based tracks, an applied project inside the real work context, and impact measurement after delivery. Remote or on-site.
The bar we refuse to lower.
Live lectures — recorded for review
Every lecture is live and interactive with the instructor, and every session is recorded and stays available to revisit at any time — for individuals and company teams alike.
Small cohorts
Up to ~12 students per cohort, so every learner gets airtime for questions and hands-on practice.
Real tools
We teach ChatGPT, Claude, NotebookLM, Google AI Studio, Higgsfield, and n8n — the tools professionals use daily.
Portfolio-ready project
A graduation project shareable on LinkedIn or a CV — not an academic exercise.
What we don't promise
Honesty before the sale.
- Not a theoretical math or computer-science course.
- No promise that AI will make you a millionaire in a month.
- Not a replacement for school or university coursework.
- Not a pre-recorded video library — every session is live with an instructor, and the recording stays with you for review.
For other questions about curriculum, payment, or certificates, see our FAQ.
Four principles that decide every call in the academy.
- Applied
Learn by building, not by memorizing
Every track is built around real projects. Students leave with a portfolio they can show — not just a certificate.
- Practitioners
Instructors who actually work in AI
The team are practitioners — shipping AI products daily. Not academics reading from slides.
- Follow-through
We don't disappear after the course
15 days of WhatsApp support after the final session, so you can apply what you learned in your real work.
- Institutional
An academy, not a person
LUMINA is an institution. Authority comes from curriculum and outcomes, not a single name.
How we plan to get there.
Five operating commitments — not slogans — we measure ourselves against in every cohort.
A curriculum per audience, not one for all
Four individual tracks plus tailored corporate programs — each written for its audience from scratch: kids get their own tools and projects, adults get a real working workflow. No shared content between them.
Live first, the recording as a guarantee
Every lecture is a live session with the instructor, in a small cohort (up to ~12) so everyone gets their turn to ask and practice. Every session is recorded and stays available with no time limit.
A real graduation project in every track
Students build something that actually works from week one, and finish with a graduation project fit for LinkedIn or a CV — or for showing a parent in the kids tracks.
The curriculum evolves with every cohort
Students rate every lecture inside the platform, and management reviews and answers each rating. What does not work is changed in the next cohort — and the tools are updated as the field moves.
A certificate that means something
The certificate is awarded on completing the track and the project, and is verifiable by number on our site — so an employer or a parent can check it themselves.
From the first message to the last follow-up — exactly what happens.
The same journey for an individual, a parent, or a company team — the content changes, the follow-through does not.
Inquiry and recommendation
Message us on WhatsApp or send a join request. We ask about your goal and level (or your child’s), and recommend the right track — and if it is not right for you now, we say so.
A seat in a cohort
We confirm the cohort dates and lecture count with you, and after enrollment you receive an account on the academy platform with your schedule and every lecture link.
Live lectures and weekly follow-up
A live lecture with the instructor, an applied assignment reviewed afterwards, and the recording added to the platform. Miss one, watch the recording and continue with the cohort.
Graduation project and certificate
Present your project at the end of the track, get feedback on it, and receive your certificate with a verification number on the site.
15 days of support after the last session
After the course we stay with you on WhatsApp for 15 days so you can apply what you learned to your real work or project, and the recordings stay available.
What you can count on us for — before, during, and after the course.
One channel, a fast reply
WhatsApp is the main channel before, during, and after the course. Available 10am–midnight Cairo time, usually replying within the hour. Email is for formal inquiries, answered within 24 hours.
Follow-up for parents
In the kids tracks, the parent knows what was covered and what is expected from the child, and can ask the instructor about their progress at any time.
If you miss a lecture
The recording is added to the platform after every session and stays available with no time limit. Send the instructor your questions about it and get an answer before the next lecture.
First-week withdrawal guarantee
If the course is not what you expected, withdraw within the first week and get your money back minus only the lectures you attended. Requests are reviewed within 48 business hours.
Deferral to a later cohort
If your circumstances change before the cohort starts, you can defer your enrollment to a later cohort once, with a request at least 7 days before the start.
Your feedback reaches management directly
Your rating of every lecture reaches management, not only the instructor, and gets a reply. Any complaint is reviewed by the academy administration and we come back to you with an outcome.
