Program 01 · Ages 10–16

Every kid will use AI. Yours will understand it.

Students train and test real machine learning models: image classifiers, language tools, game-playing agents. They learn to reason about where AI succeeds, where it fails, and why, by building with it every week.

How sessions run

Small groups, one mentor, every week

1:6

Group size

The smallest ratio on the floor. AI work is discussion-heavy, so groups stay tight.

90

Minutes weekly

One bench session per week, same mentor, same cohort, all term.

10–16

Ages

Starts at 10; the program assumes typing and basic logic, not prior AI knowledge.

100%

WWCC mentors

Every mentor holds a Working with Children Check and teaches, not minds.

The pathway

From first trained model to an AI-powered app of their own.

01

Meet the models

Train an image classifier live and watch what it gets right and wrong. Learn what training data actually does.

02

Direct the machine

Prompting, evaluating and correcting AI output. Compare model answers against their own thinking.

03

Call it from code

Use Python to call AI APIs: build tools that generate, classify and answer, with the student in control.

04

Ship an AI app

Capstone build: a working app with an AI feature at its core, documented and demoed at showcase night.
