    A Simple Learning Flow

    Clear steps that help students build confidently and ship real projects.

    Reserve a Seat
    Define the persona
    Role, tone, guardrails, and success criteria.
    Create output
    Code, media, or chatbot responses — with iteration.
    Ship a project
    Website, chatbot, MVP, or pitch-ready demo.

    Tailored for Every Stage

    Foundations
    Learn the basics of prompting and content creation with simple steps and lots of examples. Students also learn safe habits early like privacy, bias awareness, and how to verify AI outputs.
    Builders
    Students start making real projects like multimedia content, mini apps, and chatbot flows. They pick up beginner-friendly code patterns and learn how to improve outputs through testing and iteration.
    Capstone
    Students turn one idea into a working MVP with a clear use case and a simple demo. They present it Shark Tank style with a portfolio-ready pitch, showing what they built and why it matters.

    Persona Builder
    Pick a role, add constraints, and generate a clean output.
    1) Choose Role
    2) Project Idea (optional)

    This is a lightweight preview of the learning flow (not a live AI model).

    Responsible AI, taught from day one

    Students learn not just how to use AI - but how to use it responsibly.

    Ethics & Bias

    Students learn that AI can be biased. They practice spotting unfair outputs and choosing more fair, thoughtful results.

    Data Privacy

    Students learn simple rules for staying safe with AI. What to share, what not to share, and how to protect personal information.

    AI Hallucinations

    Students learn why AI sometimes sounds confident but is wrong. They practice checking facts before trusting an answer.

    Deepfakes and Voice Safety

    Students learn what deepfakes are and why consent matters for voice cloning. They also learn how scams can happen and how to stay alert.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A 6-week, in-person Saturday program where students (10–16) learn to control AI to write code, create multimedia, build bots, create websites/portfolios, understand AI in education, and think about startup ideas.
    They will create a 30-second trailer/intro (AI visuals + voiceover + soundtrack), build a personal website (portfolio) using AI-generated code, create a Smart Study Guide, build and deploy a custom chatbot, and complete a prototype + Shark Tank-style pitch for a mock AI startup.
    Safety is explicit: Students learn AI ethics & safety, data privacy, responsible use, how AI can be biased, and why AI hallucinations happen (and why prediction isn’t always fact).
    They learn AI-assisted coding using natural language to command AI to write HTML, Python, or CSS, plus debugging when code doesn’t work perfectly-ending with a personal portfolio website.
    Week 4 covers using AI as a study buddy (summaries, simplifying, quizzes, flashcards) and explicitly teaches the difference between plagiarism (copying) and assistance (using AI to understand).
