Classes

Design and code your own Minecraft worlds with block coding

Your child steps behind the scenes of the game they love and becomes its designer. Using friendly drag-and-drop block coding, they plan, build, and automate their very own Minecraft worlds, no heavy reading or typing required. Starting from their own drawings and layout plans, students learn to think like builders: sequencing steps, placing structures with logic blocks, and sharing their creations for friendly peer feedback. They leave with a world they designed from scratch and the first real coding habits that every programmer builds on.

Write real Java to mod Minecraft and learn to code for keeps

Your teen takes a real step into professional software engineering by writing genuine Java, the language behind millions of commercial apps, to mod Minecraft. They move past visual blocks into text-based code inside a professional IDE. Students learn the syntax, classes, and object-oriented ideas that power real software: inheritance, methods, and API integration, all in a context they find genuinely fun. They set up their environment, write custom code to change game mechanics, and debug their own errors, building skills that transfer to any programming language.

Build and share your own custom Minecraft mods

Your child goes from playing Minecraft to rewriting its rules. Using visual modding tools, they design, code, and deploy their own custom blocks, items, and creatures, then export a library of mods to share with friends. Along the way students think in systems: defining properties, behaviors, and recipes, and watching how one change ripples through the whole game. They practice real programming logic like conditionals and event triggers, getting their first genuine taste of software engineering inside a world they already love.

Design characters and code your first video game in Scratch

Your child goes from playing games to making them. In Scratch, they design their own characters, draw custom backdrops, and program movement with colorful drag-and-drop code, then play the game they built. Along the way they pick up the real building blocks of programming: sequences, loops, event triggers, and even X-Y coordinates, all wrapped in a story they invented. The class ends with a mini Demo Day where students proudly show their playable game to the class.

Build arcade-style games and master game logic in Scratch

Your child becomes the game designer, building classic arcade-style games in Scratch while mastering the computer-science logic underneath them. They manage scores, lives, and game states using variables, and code collisions and physics with conditional logic. Students get real creative freedom, choosing their own themes, characters, and rules, then polish their projects through peer feedback and testing before sharing them online. They finish with a multi-level game they designed and debugged themselves.

Design and direct autonomous AI agents with Python

Your teen learns to design and direct autonomous AI agents, the cutting edge of how software is built in 2026. Using Python and a real code editor, they build agent loops and multi-step workflows that run on their own. A standout feature is the API budget mechanic: students manage a capped development budget and make real cost-versus-quality tradeoffs like a working engineer. A dedicated session on security and privacy teaches what data should never be sent to AI models and how to handle API keys safely, the judgment employers say new hires are missing.

Intro to computer vision with Google Teachable Machine

What if your child could teach a computer to recognize their drawings, pets, or favorite toys? In AI Explorers, kids train their own image-recognition models using Google Teachable Machine - a friendly, code-free AI tool that lets them see results instantly. Every session follows a hands-on loop: collect images, train a model, test it, and improve it. Along the way, students will learn the limitations of artificial intelligence, including how it's biased by the data you provide it. Students will evaluate different pattern-matching techniques and practice the same train - test - iterate cycle real engineers use.

Build and train your first machine learning models to play with in Scratch!

Your child builds a video game that gets smarter the more it plays, powered by a machine learning model they train themselves. They run the full loop real AI engineers use: collect data, train, test, and wire it into a game. It is the difference between using AI and building it. Every session features hands-on projects where kids train models to recognize hand gestures, keypresses, or voice commands, then connect those models directly to games they build in Scratch. Along the way, students learn about dataset size, accuracy, bias, and the engineering mindset.
