AI & Machine Learning
Discover how artificial intelligence really works — then train your own AI models, build smart apps and learn to use AI safely.
One program fee of $999 covers the full 4-month live program — classes, projects, Demo Day and certificate.
What makes it special
AI is shaping the world our kids are growing up in, and they deserve to understand it — not just use it. In this program children peek inside AI, train their own image and sound recognizers, build smart apps and chatbots and, as they get older, code real machine-learning projects in Python.
AI Detectives (9–10) find AI all around them and train their first models with Teachable Machine. AI Builders (11–12) combine Scratch with machine learning to make apps that see, hear and respond. AI Engineers (13–14) use Python to explore data, train classifiers and build computer-vision projects. Safety, fairness and critical thinking are part of every single month.
Kids never need personal accounts on public AI chat tools — we use kid-friendly, classroom-safe tools in live small groups of up to 6. Every level ends with a Demo Day presentation and a certificate.
Hands-on & project-based
Kids build something real in every single class.
Tiny classes
Max 6 kids per class so every child gets attention.
Clear pathway
Beginner → intermediate → advanced, one level at a time.
What your child will learn
- Explain what AI is and how machines learn from data
- Train image, sound and text recognition models
- Build smart apps, games and chatbots powered by AI
- Recognize bias, protect privacy and use AI responsibly
- Code machine-learning projects in Python (ages 13–14)

Perfect for
- Kids aged 9–14 fascinated by smart assistants, robots and chatbots
- Young coders ready to add intelligence to their projects
- Parents who want their children to use AI wisely, not blindly
What you need

Families love it
“Aiden used to spend weekends on video games. Now he spends them building robots and explaining sensors to his grandpa. The Demo Day was the proudest moment of our year.”
“The teachers are magical with young kids. Anaya finished her first animated story in week three and has not stopped creating since.”
“Ethan built a weather app that pulls live data. The jump from Scratch to real Python was perfectly paced — challenging but never overwhelming.”
“Mia went from dreading math to asking for extra puzzles. Her school teacher noticed the difference in just two months.”
“Zara trained her own plant-disease detector. The responsible-AI lessons were a big plus for us as parents.”
“Noah published his own Roblox obby and his friends play it every day. He finally understands that games are made, not just played.”
Parents often ask…
Can’t find your answer? Our parent success team replies within a few hours.
Yes. Responsible use is built into every month — privacy, fairness and critical thinking — and students never need personal accounts on public AI chat tools.
Not for ages 9–12: AI Detectives and AI Builders use no-code and block-based tools. AI Engineers (13–14) learn the Python they need in their first month.
Training and testing AI models needs a little reading, reasoning and patience, so ages 9 and up get the most out of it. Younger children can start with Coding & Python or Game Design.
Small-group live classes have a maximum of 6 students, so every child gets individual attention.
Every class is recorded for your family, and we offer free make-up sessions so no one falls behind.
Click Enroll Now and pay the program fee — $999 for the full 4-month live program, covering every class, project, Demo Day and certificate. After you enroll, our team confirms the right level and class time with you.
