The program

The AI Playground program. Ten weeks, three units.

Every student runs through all three units together as one cohort — once-weekly, hour-long studios over ten weeks. Project-driven from week one, refreshed each term to stay current with the tools students will actually encounter.

UNIT 01

AI Foundations & Ethics

Understand what AI is. Decide what it should be.

Grades 3–62 weeks8–12 students

Students learn how AI actually works, where it fails, and what the ethical questions are — then form their own clear position on the issues adults are still arguing over.

UNIT 02

Building Your First App

From an idea in your head to a real app on your phone.

Grades 3–65 weeks8–12 students

Students design, build, and ship a real working app — one that solves a problem they actually care about. Modern AI-assisted tools let them focus on the idea, not the syntax.

UNIT 03

Building Your First Website

A small place on the internet that belongs entirely to you.

Grades 3–63 weeks8–12 students

Students design and ship a real website from scratch — typography, layout, color, code — and learn what it feels like to put something they made out into the world.
