Founding cohort · Central Israel · 2026

Your kid builds real apps. Not just plays games.

An after-school program where kids 12–15 turn their own ideas into working apps using Claude Code — and build the thinking habits that outlast any single tool. No coding background needed.

Why parents choose us

Screens shouldn't just entertain your kid. They should let them build.

Hours of screen time, nothing to show

Most apps consume your child's attention. Here they walk out with apps they made — and can show their friends.

"Coding looks impossible to me"

You don't need to code, and neither does your child to start. AI removed the wall. We teach them to direct it — and to think.

Will the skill even last?

Tools change. We teach six durable thinking habits — decompose, specify, critique, verify, debug, iterate — that survive when the tools do not.

How it works

One rhythm, scaled from a single session to a whole year

Every project follows the same four steps. Kids name which step they're in — so the method sticks, not just the project.

The named loop

Talk → Look → Plan → Build

The same four-step rhythm powers a 90-minute session and a 30-week year. Kids always know where they are and what comes next.

The 15-min AI-off zone

Every session opens screen-free — paper and whiteboard. Plan first, then build. The thinking comes before the typing.

Weekly, hands-on

A 90-minute club session each week. Small group, real laptops, a mentor moving between kids as they build.

Guided → independent

Early projects are closely scaffolded. By the end of a term, kids are designing and driving their own builds. That shift is how we measure progress — not test scores.

What they learn

The brain of an engineer — and the confidence to use it

6 thinking habits that outlast any tool

Decompose
break a big goal into pieces

Specify
say what you want, in writing

Critique
spot what's wrong or missing

Verify
run it — prove it works

Debug
a theory before re-prompting

Iterate
ship rough, improve in passes

What your child walks away with

  • A portfolio of 4–5 real apps they built and showed others — not toy exercises.
  • An "apps I'd build" list that grows from 3 ideas to 20+ — proof their imagination expanded.
  • The belief that they can build whatever they set their mind to.

Anchored in real engineering: setup & logging, design & planning, prompting, building small tools, reading code, verifying, debugging, iterating — and security from day one.

Limited first class

Be part of the founding cohort

We're opening our very first class in central Israel. Small group, close attention, and a front-row seat as your child goes from "I have an idea" to "I built it." Founding families help shape the program.

Parent stories from our first families will appear here as the year unfolds.

Questions parents ask

Good questions. Honest answers.

Does my child need any coding background?+

No. We assume zero experience. Day one starts with a quick assessment so we meet each child exactly where they are.

Do I, the parent, need to know how to code?+

Not at all. Your job is to enroll them and watch what they build. Everything they need happens in the session.

Is this just "let the AI do it" — will they actually learn?+

This is the heart of our method. Every session starts screen-free, planning on paper. Kids learn to direct the AI, read what it produced, find what's wrong, and steer it — the durable habits, not just clicking "generate."

What will my child actually make?+

Real apps they choose — a game, a bot, a tool for their own life. By year-end, a portfolio of 4–5 working apps they built and showed others.

What's the format and schedule?+

A weekly 90-minute after-school session, across the school year (about 30 weeks), in central Israel. Small groups so every child gets attention.
