Our story →Good questions.
All questions →How old does my child have to be to use these services?
We work with students from 3rd grade through 12th grade. Our Sunday vibe-coding courses have their own age bands: Little Builders (ages 8–10), Future Founders (ages 11–13) and AI Studio (ages 14–17).
How long is a Sunday course?
Each course is three consecutive Sundays, three hours each, for nine instructional hours including breaks. All three dates are shown before you book.
Does my child need coding experience?
No. Little Builders starts from scratch with lots of instructor guidance. Future Founders and AI Studio move faster, and each builds on the basics as the course goes.
