The Young Builders

Hi, I'm Spark! I'll be your guide on an awesome adventure where you learn to build with Artificial Intelligence (AI).

You don't need to be a computer genius. You just need to be curious and ready to try things. Let's build the future together — Build · Innovate!

Who is this for?

Young builders aged 8 to 11 who love asking "how does that work?" and "what if I made my own?"

What you'll learn (12 weeks, 3 blocks)

1. Block 1 — AI Thinking: What AI is, how it spots patterns, and how to teach a computer to recognise pictures.
2. Block 2 — Data & Problem-Solving: How to collect information, read charts, and solve a real problem.
3. Block 3 — Build Something Real: Turn your own idea into a project you can show the world.

Two paths, one adventure

Every lesson has two levels — pick the one that fits you (you can level up any time!):

What you'll make

• 3 real projects you build yourself
• A certificate at the end
• A spot in our builders' community
