AI learning that fits their age.

Two tracks and four levels, from spotting AI in everyday life to building AI apps. Every level is a skill-enrichment club, not tuition, and every class follows Think → Understand → Create → Build.

Weekend & holiday batches Small, supervised groups Monthly progress notes No experience needed
AI Kids · Ages 6–12

Explore, play and create.

Playful, creative and very hands-on. Children direct the AI while the instructor operates it, so they get all the wonder without needing their own accounts.

Level 1

Explorer

Ages 6–8

Where curiosity meets AI.

Opening soon · join the waitlist

What they learn

  • What AI is and isn't, through games and unplugged activities
  • How machines learn from examples, and why bad examples cause mistakes
  • Being kind, safe and honest online
  • Asking good questions

What they make

  • A "teach the computer" sorting game
  • A class picture dictionary made with AI
  • Their own "robot rules" poster

How AI is used: instructor-led only. The teacher runs the AI on a shared screen and the children tell it what to do. Children have no accounts and no logins.

Level 2

Creator

Ages 9–12

Your ideas, amplified.

Now enrolling

What they learn

  • Prompting as clear thinking: saying exactly what you mean
  • Using AI to brainstorm, then choosing and improving ideas yourself
  • Checking AI answers and spotting bias or made-up facts
  • Giving credit: what you made, and what the AI made

What they make

  • An illustrated AI storybook
  • A soundtrack or theme tune
  • A simple quiz game designed with AI help

How AI is used: instructor-led. Children direct the AI while the instructor operates it, in line with AI providers' age rules (most consumer AI apps are for 13+).

AI Teens · Ages 13–17

Code, build and ship.

Real engineering, adapted from the professional curriculum at Dinesh AI Academy. Teens write code, call AI models and build a portfolio of projects they understand end to end.

Level 3

Builder

Ages 13–15

From AI user to AI maker.

Now enrolling

What they learn

  • Python fundamentals through small, useful programs
  • How large language models work, and how to prompt them well
  • Calling AI models from code, inside a supervised sandbox
  • Testing AI output and designing guardrails

What they make

  • A study-buddy chatbot that quizzes instead of cheating
  • An image-recognition "eco sorter"
  • A personal project portfolio page

How AI is used: in a supervised sandbox. Teens use AI through our platform, which adds a safety layer and logging and is built within each provider's usage policy for minors. They don't use personal consumer accounts.

Level 4

Engineer

Ages 16–17

Think like an AI engineer.

Opening soon · join the waitlist

What they learn

  • Embeddings and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
  • Simple AI agents that plan and use tools
  • Evaluating AI systems for accuracy, bias and safety
  • Responsible AI: privacy, copyright and honesty

What they make

  • A capstone RAG app that cites its sources
  • A small tool-using AI agent
  • A project write-up they can present to anyone

How AI is used: the same supervised sandbox as Builder, plus API-based projects built in class. The content builds on our professional AI Engineering program and is adapted for teens.
