Inventors and Designers

Ages 8–14

Inventors and Designers is the course where kids build things. Each module is a design challenge: sketch first on paper, then use AI as a consultant to refine, expand, and pressure-test the idea. Kids produce field guides, game rule books, product pitches, architectural plans, and more. The creative vision is always theirs — AI helps them think it through.
