Our Story
About Adullam Academy
A technocentric school of innovation with a mandate to raise Kingdom-first tech leaders.
Adullam Academy is a technocentric school of innovation with a mandate to teach kids and teenagers about the creative dimension of God, purpose-driven living and systematic innovation—equipping them to be pioneers, founders and leaders who advance God's Kingdom on earth.
To raise a generation of youths who can identify real-world problems, receive God-inspired ideas, and transform those ideas into digital solutions that bring value and lasting impact for Jesus Christ.
Obaloluwa Odelana
Obaloluwa Odelana is a 20-year-old Kingdom entrepreneur and computing science student (BSc Honors) at the University of Alberta. He is passionate about helping kids and teens experience Christianity not just as a religion, but as an active, personal relationship with God—one that shapes how they live, learn, and lead.
Alongside his spiritual vision, Oba brings strong technical and instructional expertise. He has worked in AI research, automation engineering, full-stack development, and data analytics across industry and academic settings. He has also taught programming to over 100 students and led multiple youth coding bootcamps.
Adullam Academy (AA) is the expression of that vision. While the Church and technology have often been viewed as unrelated, AA bridges that gap. Here, we blend technical skill-building with the teaching of God's Word—raising Kingdom-first and Christ-centred innovators empowered to solve real-world problems with God-inspired solutions.
What We Stand For

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Adullam Academy bootcamp program.
Not necessarily. While students learn real tools for building digital products, the program is centered on creative problem-solving, systematic innovation, and purpose-driven thinking. Students are guided step-by-step, regardless of starting level.
The registration fee for Adullam Academy is $100 CAD. This covers the full 8-week bootcamp experience, including all instructional materials, project resources, and weekend stand-up sessions.
Each bootcamp runs for 8 weeks. Students meet asynchronously during the week and join 2-hour stand-ups on Saturdays or Sundays. There are 3 bootcamps each year:
- Third Week of March – Third Week of May
- First Week of June – First Week of August
- First Week of September – First Week of November
Adullam Academy is 100% online. Students attend live bootcamp sessions remotely and collaborate with their teams through virtual stand-ups. This flexible format allows families from anywhere to participate without geographic constraints.
Students work in teams to build multiple apps, games, and AI-powered solutions throughout the bootcamp, and they create and launch a working app prototype by the end. Projects are built with industry-standard tools and libraries, preparing students for real-world opportunities like internships.
The program is designed specifically for children and teens aged 8 to 18.
The program is designed to be engaging and challenging, while still being supportive and age-appropriate. Students are coached through the process, with a strong emphasis on learning by building.
Students will get the best experience by practicing outside live stand-ups, especially since the program runs asynchronously. That said, the weekly stand-ups are designed to keep students on track and supported.
Adullam Academy integrates faith and innovation intentionally:
- Every session begins with prayer
- Each session includes a Wisdom Cache (Scripture-based reflection) to reinforce how God’s Word informs every area of life
- The curriculum reflects core values like Kingdom-first living, servant leadership, excellence, and impact-driven work
We look for growth in areas like:
- Increased technical skill and comfort building real projects
- Stronger confidence and creative problem-solving
- Greater ability to think purpose-first and impact-driven
- Deeper practice of spiritual wisdom and applying Scripture to everyday life
No, parents do not need to be present during sessions. However, we encourage you to check in periodically to see what your child is building and celebrate their progress. The stand-up sessions are designed to be student-led with instructor guidance.
We keep class sizes small to ensure personalized attention and meaningful interaction. Each cohort is intentionally limited to allow for one-on-one guidance, collaborative learning, and a strong sense of community.
That’s great! Prior coding experience is welcome but not required. Each week offers both “Easy” and “Advanced” modes, allowing students to choose more challenging options if they’re feeling confident. This means experienced coders can push themselves further while beginners work at a comfortable pace—all within the same cohort.
