// About
We founded Builders Club and wrote every module ourselves. Because we work in tech every day, the course changes when the industry does.
Day job
AI/ML Engineer at AWS
Ismail is an applied AI and machine learning engineer at AWS. His day job is building AI agents, software that uses AI models to carry out real tasks, and setting up the cloud infrastructure they run on. Before that he was a Linux systems administrator for two years, and he has been using Linux since he was a teenager.
Wrote the modules on
AI, from a first chatbot to the advanced AI project
Day job
Platform Engineer at AWS
Sami is a platform engineer at AWS. His team runs the systems that other engineers build on top of, keeping them online and available to millions of requests. He started out writing software himself, so he knows both sides of the job.
Wrote the modules on
Servers and cloud, from a first server to AWS
Every module started from something we actually do at work. We wrote the curriculum ourselves, from a first website in Foundations to the AWS project in Advanced. None of it is theory we looked up.
School computing follows a syllabus last reformed in 2016. We work in tech every day, so when the tools change, the course changes. In AI that happens within months, not years.
Every term, we ask three questions.
We list the tools and ways of working we've started using since last term.
Anything we've stopped using at work comes out of the modules.
The modules are updated before the new term starts, so what they learn matches what is being used now.
The tools we use at work did not exist when we were at school. They will have changed again by the time your child leaves it.
Past block coding and a little Python, school computing has very little for a child who wants to go further. Every child should get a fair go at learning what came next, wherever they live and whatever their parents earn. That means schools, not only families who can pay. So we teach it ourselves, in groups of 6 to 8, with colleagues we trust.
Most of the children who come through won't become software engineers, and that's fine. We want them to understand the technology they'll be handed at work, whatever the work turns out to be.

Your child joins a real session and builds something. You see how it works before you decide anything.
