Home / For students
The AI program for students, ages 11 and up.
Start with your first line of Python and finish with a neural network you built yourself, in lessons short enough to fit between school, homework and everything else.
How a module works
Four steps, every single time.
Watch a short explanation, answer a few questions, build something in a guided lab, then prove it stuck. The shape never changes, so you are never learning how to learn.
Here you learn to build AI, from the mathematics upward.
Prompting a chatbot is a genuinely useful skill, and you very likely have it already. Building the model underneath is a deeper craft altogether, and it is the one that will still matter in ten years.
You need not be top of the math class. You need curiosity, and the willingness to keep going when code asks for a second attempt, as all code does.
How it fits around everything else.
Nothing here assumes you have a free evening every day of the week.
You keep every credential you have already earned, and you come back in at that level rather than at the start. Exams, holidays and busy terms happen, and nothing you earned expires while you are away.
Your record
Know exactly where you stand. Then watch it move.
You start with a 30-minute Foundations Challenge that shows where you are. It is there not to judge you, but so that later you can see how far you have come. Then every module ends in a short mastery check, and every level ends in something you built and can show.
Foundations Challenge
A gamified quiz on how AI and software actually work. Your score is your starting line, and nothing else.
Mastery check
Concept questions plus a small piece of working code. Marked automatically, explained line by line when you get one wrong.
Verified credential
A real digitally verifiable credential that a teacher or a university can verify with one click. Five of them by the end.
Illustrative. Your record is yours: it stays with you if you pause, and it leaves with you if you stop.
Five levels, eight modules, what you build at each one and what you finish with, documented in full on a single page.
Support
Stuck is normal. Alone is not.
You go at your own pace. When your code will not run, you post the error and someone working through the same module answers. You can also search what has already been asked, which is usually faster.
Two things we will not pretend
That it is easy. Some labs take a second attempt, and a third. That is what building looks like, and the labs are designed to be retried.
That you can skip the mathematics. You cannot, which is why we teach it rather than hide it. It is the difference between running a model and understanding one.
Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
Not at all. Module 1 begins at your very first line of Python and assumes no prior experience.
Do I need to be good at math?
You need only be willing to engage with it. Math is taught where it earns its place, and always taught for genuine understanding rather than memorization.
How long does it take?
At two modules a year it runs across your school years. Going faster is entirely allowed.
What if I get stuck?
Post it in the community. Other learners are working through the same modules, and most problems have already been solved by someone.
Who can see my scores?
You, and a parent or teacher if one is attached to your account. Never other students unless your school turns a leaderboard on, and then only your progress, not your marks. How your data is handled.
Will this help my college application?
Read our honest answer on the parents page.
What exactly is in the program?
All eight modules, level by level, are documented on the program page.
What does it cost?
If your school runs the program there is nothing for you to pay. On your own it is one payment of $395, which covers all five levels and 180 days of access.
