← Back to the Lab Young Builders · ages 9–15

Your kid already loves the computer. Point it at making things.

Young Builders teaches the kids of today the technology of tomorrow: each builder creates an AI app around something they already love, learns to use AI well in their studies, and demos real work to the room at the end.

A I
They build around what they love

Their interest is the curriculum.

A builder who loves singing makes an AI singing coach. A dancer builds a practice trainer; a reader, a story companion; a footballer, a drills app. When a kid builds a tool for something they care about, nobody has to make them practice using it, and they cannot wait to share it.

Their music

The Practice Coach

An AI coach that listens to practice goals, suggests warm-ups, and celebrates streaks. Swap singing for dance, football drills, or chess: the interest is theirs.

Their subjects

The Study Companion

Quizzes them on this week’s topics in their own words, adjusts as they improve, and never just hands over the answer. They stay the author of their homework.

Their imagination

The Story Machine

An interactive story where the reader makes the choices and the AI keeps the plot honest. A great first build: big imagination, small code.

In every cohort

Their Personal AI Assistant

Every Young Builder makes an assistant of their own: it knows their interests, helps plan practice, and quizzes them before tests, with a parent in the loop on what it can do.

AI for their studies

Command the tool, never lean on it.

The same skills point straight at school. The goal is a kid who directs AI with judgement, not one who copies what it says.

Ask sharper questions

Builders learn that better questions get better answers, and pick up the habit of asking why until they actually understand.

Check, don’t copy

Answers get checked against the textbook, not pasted into the homework. The kid stays the author, the AI stays the assistant.

Build their own helpers

Each builder makes a study helper for the subject they find hardest, and keeps it long after the cohort ends.

Where it happens

Online, or hosted at your venue.

Cohorts run live online in small coached groups. We also partner with schools, libraries, and community programs that want AI classes for their kids.

  • Live online cohorts Small coached groups over video, with a parent nearby for the first session while accounts are set up together.
  • Schools and libraries host The venue provides the room and the laptops; we bring the curriculum and the coaches. Running a program? Write to us below.
  • Custom scheduling Cohorts are scheduled as groups form, and the projects follow the builders’ interests. No two cohorts are the same.

Enrol a builder, or host a program

Parents: tell us who is building and what they love. Schools and libraries: tell us about your program. Hannah replies with next steps either way.

No spam, no “webinar funnels”. Just a human reply about your cohort.
