AI courses for kids and teenagers
Ages 8 to 16. Two tracks. One animated instructor.
The same flight-school approach we built for grown-ups, made for young people. Children learn what AI really is, how to use it well, and how to stay safe with it, guided by an animated instructor at a pace that suits their age. They finish with a real credential to show for it.
In development now. Join the waitlist and your family is first to board.
Pick the cockpit that fits
Each track is a ten-week journey, told as a flight. Younger pilots start on the ground and earn their wings; older pilots take the controls and build something real. Every learner earns a credential they can keep.
Junior AI Navigators
Ground school: reading the instruments before you fly.
- What AI actually is, in words an 8-year-old gets
- Talking to AI safely, with grown-up rules built in
- Teaching a computer to recognise pictures (their first model)
- Making a short illustrated story with an AI helper
- A build week and a showcase week to share what they made
- Spotting when AI gets it wrong, and what to do about it
Senior AI Pilots
In the air: taking the controls and building for real.
- Prompting properly: getting useful answers, not lucky ones
- Building and training their own simple AI models
- The ethics: bias, fairness, deepfakes, and using AI honestly
- Working with data: where it comes from and why it matters
- A real project of their choosing, start to finish
- A project log and a final showcase to present their work
Ten weeks, week by week
Each week is one short video lesson with the animated instructor, then a hands-on activity to do at home. Here is the full flight plan for both tracks. Week 1 of each is a free preview.

After the core ten weeks, pilots can choose an optional flight route to specialise. See the routes →
Built for young people, designed for parents
This is the part we think about most. The course is taught by an animated instructor, not a live stranger, and there is no open chat for children to wander into. You hold the account, you give consent, and you can see what your child is learning. The aim is a confident, sensible young person who understands AI, not one who is hooked on it.
An animated instructor
Lessons are pre-made videos with a friendly animated guide. No live calls, no strangers, no open chat rooms.
Parents in command
You create and hold the account and give consent before your child starts. Their privacy is the default, not an afterthought.
Plain English, age-appropriate
Every lesson is pitched to the age group, using tools made for classrooms. Learning to think, not just to click.
Choose a direction to specialise
After the core track, pilots can choose a route that matches what they love. Each route adds a short set of projects on top of the credential.
Creative route
Stories, art, music and design with AI as a helper, keeping the young maker firmly in charge of the ideas.
Safety & ethics route
Deepfakes, scams, bias and fairness. How to question what you see online and use these tools honestly.
Data & coding route
A gentle first look at data and simple code, building and testing their own small models step by step.
Routes are optional. The core ten-week track and its credential come first; routes are there for pilots who want to go further.
Real credentials, and a ladder to climb
Every young pilot finishes with something to show for it, and a clear next step. The Flight Log leads to the Co-Pilot License, and one day to the grown-ups' Academy itself.
- AI Flight Log – Level 1 for Junior Navigators who complete ground school
- AI Co-Pilot License – Level 1 for Senior Pilots who finish a real project
- A showcase piece to share with family, school or friends
- A clear path upward as new levels and routes are added
