About event
Don't learn about AI. Ship with it.
The first APEX AI Bootcamp sold out and left a waitlist. The RedRelay Edition goes further: this isn't a weekend of slides about what agentic AI could do — it's 48 hours of building the real thing, on RedRelay, the region's first Unified AI solution, with the CWG Innovations team beside you.
There are no tracks to choose between and nothing to miss out on. Every participant travels the same continuous journey, and everyone learns everything — how to build an agentic AI, how to turn it into a business, how to defend it, and how to earn from finding flaws in others'. Each stage builds directly on the one before, so by Sunday evening the thing in your hands isn't four separate exercises — it's one connected build: an AI agent you created, wrapped in a business model you validated, secured by a defence agent you trained, and a first bug report on its way to a real programme.
This is a bootcamp for builders and idea people — youths and young innovators aged 15 to 25 who have a problem worth solving or a venture worth starting. No computer science degree required. No prior coding assumed. A low floor so anyone can start, and a ceiling high enough to stretch even the self-taught hacker in the room.
The journey: one build, five stages
Stage 1 — The 90-Minute Agent (Saturday morning)
Everyone builds from minute one. Within ninety minutes — before a single line of theory — each participant stands up a working agentic AI on RedRelay that can reason, remember, use tools, and act on its own. Not a chatbot. An agent. Here you learn the one idea that unlocks the entire weekend: MCP, the Model Context Protocol — the "USB-C for AI agents" — the universal plug that lets any agent connect to any tool, whether a maps API, a database, a payment system, or a security scanner. Grasp that single mental model and everything after it clicks into place.
Stage 2 — From One Agent to a Fleet (Saturday late morning)
One agent is a demo; a team of agents is a product. Next you learn multi-agent orchestration — the single biggest leap in AI this year — by building an "AI startup in a box": a Researcher, a Writer, and a Quality-Assurance agent that check each other's work under an Orchestrator that breaks down goals and delegates. Along the way you get hands-on with the concepts the frontier labs actually use in 2026: the orchestrator–worker pattern, Retrieval-Augmented Generation to ground agents in real facts instead of hallucinations, agent memory and safety guardrails, and evals — the professional habit of proving your agent actually works.
Stage 3 — Turn It Into a Business (Saturday afternoon)
Now your agents earn their keep. You'll build a working platform that generates and stress-tests business models — and then turn it on your own idea. Your "Founder-in-a-Box" takes any concept and returns a complete Business Model Canvas, a competitor scan, a pricing model, a market-size estimate, and a "brutal investor" agent that role-plays a venture capitalist and tries to tear the plan apart. Then comes the part that makes it real: a live validation sprint. You put up a landing page, wire in a real pre-order button, and reach twenty potential customers during the bootcamp. Success isn't a nice idea — it's whether anyone clicks, replies, or pays. This is how solo founders ship revenue in 2026, and the best-validated builds feed straight into the CWG Innovations venture pipeline. Saturday closes with a two-minute "here's my working thing" from every participant, so no one leaves day one stuck.
Stage 4 — Defend What You Built: Red & Blue Agents (Sunday morning)
You've built something real — now learn to break it and protect it. In 2025, an autonomous AI hacking agent reached number one on the HackerOne US leaderboard with over a thousand reported vulnerabilities — a machine out-hunting human researchers. You'll build your own ethical, scaled-down version. On the red side, an agent that reasons about a sandboxed, deliberately vulnerable practice target we provide — never live systems — hunting the classic OWASP web flaws through tools connected over MCP. On the blue side, the more in-demand half, a SOC-analyst agent that watches a live log stream, triages alerts, explains in plain English whether an attack is real, and drafts an incident response — filling exactly the defensive gap the security industry is racing to close. It climaxes in a Red vs Blue live arena: attacker agents point at each other's practice apps while defender agents detect and respond. Points for exploits landed, points for attacks caught — offense and defence taught as two halves of one skill, with legality and ethics front and centre.
Stage 5 — Earn From It: The Bug Bounty Pathway (Sunday afternoon)
The final stage turns skill into a real income path — honestly. Companies and governments pay researchers to legally find security holes through platforms. We teach the truth beginners rarely hear: bug bounty is paid education first, income second — the first months often earn nothing while skill compounds, and every six-figure hunter started exactly here. The Singapore hook makes it tangible: our own government runs real crowdsourced programmes — the Government Bug Bounty Programme, the year-round Vulnerability Disclosure Programme open to every citizen, and the Vulnerability Rewards Programme — where local youths can legally hunt on government systems and be rewarded. Before you leave, you create your profile, learn to practise legally on free labs, and set one clear goal: submit your first real vulnerability report — using the red agent you built in Stage 4 as the force-multiplier most hunters don't yet have.
The finish: Demo Showcase & Pitch (Sunday evening)
The journey ends where ventures begin. Every build is brought together in a capstone of live demos, agent-versus-agent battles, and first bug-report submissions, closing with a Demo Showcase & Pitch before the CWG Innovations judges — where the strongest solutions are fast-tracked toward becoming real ventures.
What you leave with:
One connected build that proves you can do it all: a working agentic AI, a business model you validated on a platform you created, a cyber-defence agent, and your first bug report on its way to a real programme. The vocabulary and mental models — MCP, orchestration, RAG, evals, red-and-blue — to keep building long after the weekend. And the RedRelay cohort, a community that keeps going with you.
Come with a problem to solve or a venture to start. Leave having shipped it.
