See the Program

What Students Build

Students don’t just learn concepts. They ship real AI products they can demo, improve, and include in serious college applications.

AI Chatbot

A custom chatbot students deploy and own, built to solve a real problem they care about.

Voice Agent

A voice AI that students can actually talk to. Perfect for language practice, interview prep, or study coaching.

Customer Support Agent

Our team helps them build an AI support chat agent that connects real tools students already use—saving time on homework, scheduling, or personal projects.

About Lynx Combinator

Kyle Tran is the founder of SoCal's #1 youth AI bootcamp, helping students go from beginners to confident AI builders with real portfolio projects.

Most youth learn about AI in school. At Lynx Combinator, they build with it.

In 6 weeks, students go from beginner to shipping 3 real AI products: chatbots, voice agents, and customer support agents they can actually showcase.

After the program, students continue getting support from Kyle and keep lifetime access to the Lynx Combinator community, connecting them with young leaders and builders like them.

The goal is simple: help students stand out by becoming confident builders.

Why AI Skills Matter Now

The future needs leaders who create with technology, not just consume it. AI projects in your portfolio show:

βœ“ Technical initiative (you didn't wait to be taught)

βœ“ Problem-solving ability (you built something real)

βœ“ Future readiness (you're prepared for an AI-native world)

Whether you're applying to top colleges or launching something of your own, real AI projects make you stand out.

About Kyle

i didn't go to school for this. i taught myself β€” chatbots, voice agents, customer support agents, websites shipped on vercel. zapier led to chatgpt led to claude code led to realizing i could build real things that worked.

then i met a family. their kids were half my age β€” curious, energetic, asking questions nonstop. then something clicked.

i thought about who i was at 16. junior year. AP classes. track and field. already racing against time without knowing where i was running. nobody handed me a roadmap. i had to find that years later, alone.

those kids didn't have to wait that long.
