Everything Parents Ask About Our AI Program

Absolutely! 85% of our students start with zero coding knowledge, and they thrive. We begin with drag-and-drop visual programming before transitioning to text-based coding. Our proven 3-step progression: 1) Visual concepts with Scratch, 2) Guided Python basics, 3) Independent project creation. Plus, our small class sizes (max 8 kids) ensure every child gets personalized attention.

Just a computer with internet! Requirements: Windows 10+, macOS 10.14+, or Chromebook with Chrome OS. 4GB RAM minimum (8GB preferred). Webcam and microphone for interaction. We provide: All software (free), detailed setup guide with screenshots, tech support during first class, and backup cloud coding environment if needed.

Great question! Kids who enjoy our program typically like: puzzles and problem-solving, building with Lego or Minecraft, asking 'how does this work?', video games, or creating stories. But we've surprised many parents - quiet kids become confident presenters, artistic kids love creative coding, and energetic kids focus for the full 90 minutes. That's why we offer a 100% money-back guarantee after the first class!

Each live session is 90 minutes, carefully designed for optimal learning: 15 min review & warm-up, 30 min new concept introduction, 30 min hands-on coding, 15 min project sharing & Q&A. This timing keeps kids engaged without fatigue while allowing deep learning. We've tested shorter formats - kids always want more time to finish their projects!

No worries! Every class is recorded in HD and available for 60 days. You'll receive: Full class recording within 2 hours, downloadable code files and resources, written summary of key concepts, homework assignments if needed. We also offer optional 15-minute catch-up calls with instructors for kids who miss more than one session.
