AI tuition for 10 to 16 year olds
AI tuition here means your child learns what an AI model is, trains one, builds with one, and learns where it goes wrong, at whichever of three levels fits their age.
Live online sessions run by engineers who work at AWS.
What it is, in plain words
AI, for a 10 to 16 year old, is two ideas they can hold in their head. A model is a program that learned from examples instead of being told rules, so it can sort things it has never seen. A chatbot like ChatGPT is a model that predicts the next word, over and over, which is why it can sound sure of itself and still be wrong.
We teach both ideas by having your child build them. They collect examples and train a small model, then watch where it and they disagree. Later they call a model from their own code and give it a job and a memory. Later still they measure how often it is right.
Why a 10 to 16 year old should learn it now
Your child already meets AI in their homework and their group chats. The difference between a child who uses it and a child who understands it is whether they can say what it is doing and when to distrust it.
At every level they learn where AI goes wrong and why personal details never go into it. Every AI call goes through a service we run, with our key and our guardrails.
What your child builds at each level
At 10 to 12 your child trains a real AI model from examples they collect, puts it in a game, learns how ChatGPT guesses the next word, and builds a chatbot character with a personality they design. At 12 to 14 they call an AI from their own Python code, give it memory so it remembers the conversation, feed it their own notes, and learn to use an AI coding assistant and check its work. At 14 to 16 they build an AI that answers questions from their notes and test how often it is right, then turn it into a small product with spending limits. At every level they learn where AI goes wrong and why personal details never go into it. Every AI call goes through a service we run, with our key and our guardrails.
Who teaches it
Two of us. Ismail is an applied AI and machine learning engineer at AWS. Sami is a platform engineer at AWS. We wrote the curriculum and we teach every session. If we bring in other tutors as the programme grows, they will be engineers we have worked with, and we'll tell you before your child's group changes.
Accounts, supervision and safety
Under 13, nothing is in your child's name: they work in the browser on platforms we manage, and we publish their work to their club address. From 13, they create a GitHub account in a session with you present; it is the portfolio they keep. Everything else (the Linux server, the AI tools, the AWS sandbox, the publishing) is ours: we own the accounts and pay the bills. Your child never sees a password or a key for any of it.
Every tutor holds an enhanced DBS check. Sessions are recorded and recordings are deleted after 90 days. Tutors never message a child directly. We have a designated safeguarding lead.
Levels and prices
Your child trains a real AI model from examples and learns how ChatGPT actually works, at a level a 10 year old understands.
From 12, your child runs their own Linux server that we host, writes Python that does real jobs, and builds an AI assistant that remembers the conversation.
From 14, your child deploys to Amazon Web Services in a sandbox we own and pay for, ships code the way engineering teams do, and builds an AI tool that answers questions from their own notes.
