AI engineering course for teens aged 16–17Engineer: think like an AI engineer.

The second level of AI Teens. Older teens work with the same building blocks professionals use: embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and simple AI agents that plan and use tools. They also learn to evaluate AI systems for accuracy, bias and safety. The content builds on our professional AI Engineering program and is adapted for teens.

Teen AI Engineer: parents' questions

Engineer builds on the Python and prompting covered in Builder. If your teen hasn't done Builder, tell us what they have done when you register and we'll suggest the right starting point.

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) lets an AI answer from a chosen set of documents and cite its sources, instead of relying only on what it memorised. It is one of the most widely used techniques in real AI products, and the basis of the capstone project.

Engineer batches are announced on our Upcoming Batches page. Join the waitlist by registering, and we'll tell you as soon as dates and fees are confirmed.

It builds on our professional AI Engineering program, adapted for 16–17 year olds, with a supervised sandbox and our child-safety rules.
