Grades 3–5 · In-person & online · Frederick, MD
Kids don't just use AI here. They build with it.
Small classes where students code, train robots, and ship real projects using tools like Stempedia — guided by a curriculum built around AI concepts, prompt engineering, and robotics fundamentals.
Programs
Three tracks, one throughline: build something real
Every course pairs a concept with a hands-on project, so students leave each session with something they made, not just notes.
Code Fundamentals
Block-to-text coding, computational thinking, and game design — the foundation every later track builds on.
AI & Prompt Engineering
Students learn how AI models actually work, then design and test their own prompts, chatbots, and intelligent tools.
Applied Robotics
Program and build physical robots using Stempedia hardware, tying code to motion, sensors, and real-world problem solving.
"My daughter came home and explained neural networks to me better than I could've explained them to her. She built a chatbot in week three and hasn't stopped tinkering since."
— Maria T., parent of a 4th grader
"He used to say he 'hated coding.' Six weeks in, he asked for a robotics kit for his birthday. The hands-on projects made all the difference."
— David R., parent of a 5th grader
"I liked building the robot best because I got to make it move by itself. Now I want to build one that can clean my room."
— Aiden, 3rd grade student
