Why AI Coding

Most coding classes are teaching the old job.

The way software gets built changed faster than almost anyone expected. We teach for the job as it is now, not the one from five years ago.

75%

of new code at Google is now written by AI.

Two years ago it was a quarter. Engineers spend their day directing and reviewing what the AI writes, which is the exact skill we teach.

The Path

Level up, one term at a time.

Every student follows the same core track, from a first app to shipping like an engineer, then branches into the specialty that fits them. Each course ends with something they built and can explain.

Level 01Ages 10–13

AI App Course I

Our Promises

Three things we stand behind.

What you can count on from us, in plain terms: who teaches, what happens if it isn’t right, and what your child walks away with.

01

Live classes, taught by people who build

Every session is live and led by a coach who works in the field, not a video or a teaching assistant reading a script. Our instructors are practitioners first.

Cambridge CS graduatesAI research institute staffCS PhD studentsEx-startup builders
02

Money-back guarantee

Come to the first class. If it isn’t right for your child, tell us and we refund the full cost. No forms to chase, no fine print, no pressure to stay.

Full refund after class one
03

A real project every semester

Each term, your child finishes something they own: a deployed app, an ML project, or a research paper. It goes straight into a portfolio for applications, competitions, or their own next launch.

Theirs to keep and build on

Student Work

Past student projects

Three builds from our students, shown with permission. Each one grew out of something the student already cared about: a debate season, an instrument, a subject they love.

FlowState

A live debate-round tracker: timed speeches, argument columns, and a running transcript. Built by a policy debater to keep up with their own rounds (real-time state and a keyboard-driven UI).

13-year-old · San Francisco

Segno

A practice planner for musicians: today’s session, weekly goals, and a review queue for trouble spots. Built by a young violinist to organize their own practice: data that has to add up over weeks.

11-year-old · violinist

Laurel: Latin practice

The interactive lesson engine behind the Latin app: multiple-choice questions, instant feedback, and scoring. Built by a high schooler who loves Latin, and it is now part of their college applications.

17-year-old · Dubai

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my child need coding experience?

No. Our beginner courses assume zero experience and start from an idea your child wants to build. Students who have done Scratch or a little Python move faster, but the starting line is the same.

Isn't the AI just doing the work for them?

AI writes first drafts. Students direct it, then read, test, and fix what it produces. Every week each student walks a coach through their own code and explains what it does and why. If they can't explain it, we're not done.

What tools will they use, and are they age-appropriate?

The right tool for the age. Younger students build with Lovable, an AI app builder; older teens in the Claude Code Bootcamp use a professional agentic workflow, a real editor, and git. We set up and hold every account, so students never touch API keys or billing.

How big are classes, and when do they meet?

Six students maximum, always live with a coach. Courses run in weekly sessions scheduled across time zones, and every session is recorded so a student who misses one can catch up.

What does my child have at the end?

Something they built and can open: a deployed app with a real URL, a machine-learning project, or a research paper, depending on the course. It becomes a portfolio piece they can put toward competitions, applications, or their next build.

What if it isn't the right fit?

If your child attends the first class and it isn't right, we refund the full cost, no questions asked. Booking a free consultation first is the surest way to land on the right course and age band.
