Not a tutorial. Not a toy. A real, working app they can share with you, built with the same AI tools professionals use.
Every session produces a real, working project. Their idea, their project. AI handles the boilerplate. The student drives.
Students use professional AI tools to create real, working web apps, games, quizzes, and tools from day one. No boring syntax drills. Just ideas becoming reality.
Computational thinking. Creative problem-solving. Prompt engineering. Public speaking. The skills that will define the next decade, while having a blast.
The program culminates in Demo Day: students present their best project on stage to parents, teachers, and community members, and win awards for it.
90 minutes a week, the same proven rhythm that ends with demos, because builders show their work.
Set up, learn to prompt, and build a first working project, all in under 90 minutes.
Clear instructions get better results. Prompt showdowns and the RICE framework.
Read errors, spot bugs, and use AI to fix them. The first version is never the last.
Interview a partner about a real problem, then build the thing that solves it.
Connect projects to the real world: live weather, trivia, and data feeds.
Apps that remember: saving scores, input, and preferences across sessions.
Pick a showcase project, refine the design, and practice a 2-minute pitch.
Present on stage to parents and guests. Awards, certificates, and what's next.
Every big idea starts with a spark.
Every one of the 8 sessions includes a dedicated digital-safety lesson. These aren't afterthoughts. They're core curriculum.
Students never connect personal email, social media, or existing accounts. Every tool runs through program-managed accounts set up by the instructor.
Students are explicitly taught never to enter their real name, address, school, or any identifying information into AI tools or their projects.
Any use of information that could be traced back to a student requires explicit written parent permission. A firm program rule, not a suggestion.
All AI tools have robust content filters, and the instructor monitors student interactions with AI tools throughout every session.
Educator · Builder · Former Quant
Summer spent her career as a quant, writing code and building models in one of the most demanding, detail-obsessed corners of finance, where the software has to work. Now she brings that same rigor (and a lot more fun) to teaching kids to build with AI. When she's not in the classroom, she's speedcubing, baking increasingly ambitious sourdough, or getting beaten at Mario Kart by her students. Her philosophy: every kid is a builder. They just need the right tools and someone to say "go."
Optional summer camp extension, a full-week intensive, is planned for students who want to go deeper.
No. The program is designed for complete beginners. AI tools handle the heavy lifting of syntax so students can focus on ideas, logic, and creativity. Experienced coders are challenged too: we push them toward more ambitious projects.
Real, working projects they can access via a URL and show anyone. Students have built personal websites, quiz games, weather apps, homework trackers, and tools to help organize family events. Every student leaves every session with something that works.
Most coding programs teach kids to follow tutorials or memorize syntax. We teach kids to identify problems, imagine solutions, and use AI as a building tool to bring those solutions to life. The real skill is creative problem-solving, clear communication, and iterative thinking.
Any laptop with a web browser and internet access. Chromebooks work great, and we can provide loaners if needed.
Absolutely. Parents are welcome to sit in, especially for Session 8, Demo Day, which is designed as a showcase for families and guests.
We're planning a summer camp extension (a full-week intensive) for students who want to go deeper, plus resources for continued independent building and possible advanced sessions in the fall.
Seats are limited to 12 builders per semester. Grab yours before they're gone.
