New program · Ages 10–16

Kids build real apps.
With AI as their sidekick.

Live, hands-on sessions where kids aged 10–16 turn their ideas into working apps and games. Parents always in the loop.

Get early access Free to join the waitlist. No dates yet. You'll hear first.

They don't watch. They build.

Every kid leaves with something they made themselves and can show off to friends and family.

Their own game

A game they invented

From the first idea to a playable game they can send to their friends. Rules, characters and all.

A checklist app on a phone screen
A real app

An app that solves a problem

A chore tracker for the family, a quiz for school, a tool for their hobby. Something people actually use.

Skills for life

Confidence with AI

They learn to direct AI instead of just consuming it, breaking big ideas into steps and presenting their work.

Live sessions, not videos

1

Live & guided

Live sessions with real instructors. Kids build along in real time. Nobody gets left behind.

2

Idea first, code second

Each kid picks something they care about. Then we use Claude Code to bring it to life, step by step.

3

Build, break, fix

Things break. That's the fun part. Kids learn to debug, iterate and make their projects better every session.

4

Show & tell

Every project ends with a demo. Kids present what they built to the group, and to you.

For parents

Safe, supervised, and worth their screen time

This is screen time that ends with something to show. And you're never out of the loop.

Parents welcome in every session

Sit in, watch, or build alongside your kid. You're always invited.

Live instructors, always

No kid is ever alone with a chatbot. Real humans run every minute, with projects curated for ages 10–16.

Your account, never theirs

Claude accounts are 18 and over, so your child never gets one. You sign in on your account and sit beside them. Nothing runs on a login that belongs to your kid.

You see everything

Recaps after every session so you know exactly what your kid built and learned.

Their information stays theirs

You are our only contact. Your child's first name and age is the entire record we keep. No account, no email, no login for them on anything we run.

Who runs the sessions

Meet Kaila & Nuno

Kaila Coach

Kaila

Kaila Love hosted Richmond's first hackathon, where the first-place app was built by two middle schoolers. She has spent years making AI make sense to people who were sure it wasn't for them, and she teaches kids exactly the way she teaches adults: learn by doing.

Nuno Coach

Nuno

Nuno Tavares spent 25 years in Fortune 100 tech and writes the Claude Code curriculum we teach. At home he is the dad who runs the Minecraft server, planned a family trip to Japan inside an app he built with his son, and watches that same 14-year-old build his own games from scratch.

Richmond Homebase Hackathon

This is what building looks like

Richmond's first hackathon, hosted by Kaila. Kids built their own apps, pitched them on stage, and the Mayor of Richmond signed the winners' certificates.
