AI & TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS
Our AI programs help students understand how technology works and how to create with it. Each course is hands-on, project-based, and designed to build confidence through real coding and AI projects.
CODING • COMPUTERS • AI • REAL PROJECTS
Grades 3–5 | 10 Weeks | 1 Hour Weekly | Hands-On & Project-Based | Laptop Required
Future Tech Explorers is for curious young creators ready to move beyond simply using technology. Students learn the foundations of coding, computers, and Artificial Intelligence through games, puzzles, creative challenges, and real projects.
WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL BUILD & LEARN
| Week | Theme | What Students Learn |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Think Like a Computer | What computers do; input, process, and output; how computers follow precise instructions; an introduction to computational thinking. |
| 2 | Algorithms: Give Computers a Plan | What an algorithm is; sequence and order; breaking a problem into smaller steps; and recognizing patterns. |
| 3 | Logic, Decisions & Debugging | True/false thinking; IF/THEN decisions; patterns; an introduction to conditions, bugs, and debugging. |
| 4 | Scratch: Bring Code to Life | The Scratch interface; sprites; events; sequences; coordinates; basic blocks; and how programs respond to users. |
| 5 | Build a Game: Loops & Variables | Repetition and loops; variables such as score; random behavior; events and interactions. |
| 6 | Game Designer: Conditions & Debugging | IF/THEN logic in real code; collision detection; winning and losing conditions; testing and debugging; and combining coding concepts. |
| 7 | Meet Artificial Intelligence | AI compared with ordinary computer programs; examples of AI; how AI recognizes patterns and learns from examples; and what AI can and cannot do. |
| 8 | Generative AI: How to Talk to AI | Generative AI; prompts; why instructions matter; improving prompts; different answers; and AI mistakes. |
| 9 | AI Creator Lab | Using AI as a learning tool; brainstorming and creation; combining human ideas with AI; evaluating AI output; and responsible use. |
| 10 | Future Tech Challenge & Showcase | Connect algorithms, coding, computers, and AI; explain how projects work; and reflect on what was learned. |
CODING • AI • AGENTIC AI • REAL PROJECTS
Grades 6–8 | 10 Weeks | 1 Hour Weekly | Hands-On & Project-Based | Laptop Required
Future Tech Builders is the next step for students who are ready to move past the basics of computers and coding and start exploring Artificial Intelligence, generative AI, and agentic AI. Students experiment with AI, question and fact-check its answers, and build their own AI-powered solution.
WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL BUILD & LEARN
| Week | Theme | What Students Learn |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | From Idea to App | Software, hardware, users, data, input-process-output, and how an app becomes a working system. |
| 2 | Algorithms, Data, Internet & APIs | Algorithms, decomposition, automation, data flow, clients, servers, APIs, privacy, and reliability. |
| 3 | Python Foundations | Python syntax, variables, data types, input, output, and expressions. |
| 4 | Decisions and Repetition | Boolean logic, if/elif/else, loops, validation, and tracing program flow. |
| 5 | Functions and Debugging | Functions, parameters, return values, testing, debugging, and readable code. |
| 6 | How Generative AI Works | Training data, patterns, tokens, probability, strengths, limitations, hallucinations, and bias. |
| 7 | Prompt Engineering and AI-Assisted Coding | Goals, context, constraints, examples, iteration, evaluation, and responsible AI-assisted coding. |
| 8 | From Chatbot to AI Agent | Chatbots versus agents; goals, plans, memory, tools, actions, feedback loops, guardrails, and human oversight. |
| 9 | Build, Test and Improve | Prototype construction, structured prompts, Python integration where appropriate, testing, error handling, and iteration. |
| 10 | AI Creator Showcase | Communication, demonstration, reflection, responsible-use explanation, and next-step thinking. |
WHY AI PROGRAMS?
Our children use technology every day—but how many truly understand how it works?
They know how to open an app, play a game, watch a video, or ask AI a question. But can they explain how a computer follows instructions, how an app or piece of software makes decisions, why AI sometimes gives incorrect answers, or how they can turn an idea into something that actually works?
Technology is changing incredibly quickly. We cannot predict exactly which tools our children will use ten years from now. It is important to give them something more valuable: strong foundations, logical thinking, confidence with technology, and the ability to keep learning as technology changes.
That is the purpose behind our two new programs: Future Tech Explorers for students in grades three through five, and Future Tech Builders for students in grades six through eight. Both courses are based on one simple philosophy: children learn technology best by building with it.
