What your child actually builds

Not a certificate. Not a slideshow. A real, working AI project, built with their own hands, in stages you can see happening.

Midway: Week 6

Their first working AI tool

  • A trained mini-model, a simple classifier, or a small working chatbot, built and not just explained
  • Can explain, in plain language, how their AI actually makes decisions
  • Has picked the real-world problem their final project will solve
Final: Week 12, Showcase Day

A demo they present, live

  • An end-to-end AI solution to a real problem they chose, running and not theoretical
  • Presented live, in front of parents and mentors, at Showcase Day
  • Documented with photos and video, theirs to keep and yours to share

Real projects kids at this age can genuinely build

Every child's project depends on what they're curious about, but here's the kind of thing a 9 to 15 year old walks out having actually built — from a first working model to a genuinely ambitious build.

Starter builds

Where most kids begin — a first taste of training and directing a real model.

A chatbot that answers questions about their favorite subject or hobby

An image classifier that sorts photos, waste, or handwriting

A simple AI-powered game that reacts to how the player plays

A recommendation tool, for books, music, or study topics

Advanced builds

For kids ready to go further — usually ages 13 to 15, or a starter project already under their belt.

A prompt-to-3D model generator that turns a text description into a game-ready asset

An AI-assisted short film — storyboarded, generated, and narrated scene by scene

A style-transfer art generator that reimagines a photo in a completely different art style

An AI music composer that generates an original soundtrack from a mood or theme prompt

Tools they'll actually get hands-on with

Real, industry tools, simplified for age 9 to 15, not a toy version of AI.

Students collaborating on an AI project together

Admission is by interview, on purpose

We don't sell a seat to anyone who clicks "buy." We meet every child and parent first, so the pace, the project, and the mentor are genuinely the right fit, and so you know exactly what three months will look like before you commit.

01

Apply

Tell us about your child: their age, what's pulled them toward AI so far, and what you're hoping the next three months look like.

02

Discovery interview

A relaxed conversation with your child and you, together with a mentor, to gauge genuine interest, not just enthusiasm on a form.

03

Fit confirmation

We confirm the cohort, the mentor, and set clear, honest expectations for the three months ahead, with no surprises either side.

04

Cohort begins

Your child starts building, in a room of 15, guided by a mentor who has actually shipped this technology in the real world.

We're not just teaching kids to use AI. We're teaching them to build with it.

AI Kids Lab exists because the next decade won't reward children who can prompt a chatbot. It will reward the ones who understand how these systems think, and can build with them. Every mentor here has shipped real AI and software in the real world. Every cohort stays small enough that no child is a face in a crowd. And every child leaves with something they made: not a slide, not a badge, a working thing they built with their own hands.

Your child's journey through the lab

Twelve weeks, four real shifts, from curious to genuinely future-ready.

Week 1

Curious

Meets their mentor, sees AI up close for the first time, and picks the problem they're curious about solving.

Students on their first day at AI Kids Lab
Week 3–5

Building

Hands on keyboard, running real tools, learning how AI actually makes decisions instead of just using it.

Week 6–11

Creating

Their own AI project takes shape, guided one-on-one by a mentor who's built this for a living.

Week 12

Future-ready

Presents a working AI solution at Showcase Day, and walks away a builder, not just a user.

Two kids, ten years from now

The same curiosity today can lead to a very different starting point tomorrow.

Without AI coaching

  • Grows up using AI tools like everyone else, without knowing how they actually work
  • Sees AI as a black box that gives answers
  • Enters a world that assumes AI fluency, and has to catch up later
  • Has used AI, but never built anything with it

With AI Kids Lab

  • Understands how AI actually thinks, decides, and builds
  • Has already built a real, working AI project, start to finish
  • Enters the future already fluent, years ahead of catching up
  • Has stood in front of a room and presented something they made

Who's behind this

Built by two people who've spent their careers close to how technology actually gets made, and in one case, close to raising the kids it's being made for.

Ramya

Founder

Ramya has spent 11+ years building go-to-market strategy for B2B SaaS companies, most recently leading marketing at Syntasa, an agentic marketing platform built on Google Cloud, while co-founding GetSeenInAI, an AI-visibility platform, and B2B Growth Boost, a growth agency for SaaS and B2B companies. Along the way, she's advised more than 40 companies on how to grow in a world being rewritten by AI.

She's also a mother of two, which is the real reason AI Kids Lab exists. She's watched, up close, how fast the world her own children are growing up in is changing, and decided she wasn't willing to let them learn AI from a rushed school module or a generic app. AI Kids Lab is the program she wished existed for her own kids: small, credible, mentor-led, and honest about what a child can genuinely build in three months.

Ravi

Co-Founder, Technical Lead

Our technical co-founder has built and tested software at scale across Apple, Amazon, and fast-growing product companies including CoinDCX, Zepto, and Slice, specializing in SDET, DevOps, and automation at scale.

That builder's discipline shapes the curriculum directly: nothing is taught here until it's been genuinely shipped somewhere first. The technology your child learns is the technology actually running in production, not a simplified textbook version of it.

If you'd rather talk to us first, about the format, the mentors, or whether your child is the right fit, book a short discovery call. No pressure, no pitch, just a real conversation.

Book a discovery call

Questions parents ask

What ages can join? +
Children between 9 and 15 years old.
Is this online or in person? +
Fully in person, every Saturday and Sunday, at a coworking training room near you. There is no online-only version of this cohort.
Why is there an interview before joining? +
Cohorts are capped at 15 seats, so we meet every child and parent first, to make sure the pace, the project, and the mentor genuinely fit, and to set honest expectations before day one.
What will my child actually walk away with? +
A working AI project they can demo end-to-end, plus an earlier milestone project at the program's midpoint. Both are things they can show off, not just a certificate.
Who actually teaches the classes? +
Mentors who are IIT, IIIT, or BITS alumni, or who've worked at companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. Every mentor is also assessed on how well they teach a 10-year-old, not just on their resume.
Is internship exposure guaranteed? +
For children who show strong aptitude and interest, we help arrange internship-style exposure to real companies at the end of the cohort, based on project fit and availability.
How much does it cost? +
Pricing depends on the cohort and schedule that fits your child, and is shared during your discovery call or interview.
Does my child need any prior coding experience? +
No. Curiosity matters far more than background. We've designed the first weeks for children who have never written a line of code.
What if my child isn't selected after the interview? +
We're honest about fit, not harsh about it. If it's not the right time, we'll tell you exactly why and what to build on before applying to a future cohort.
How many mentors are there per cohort? +
Cohorts are capped at 15 children specifically so mentors can give real, individual attention, not lecture to a room.
Where exactly are classes held? +
In-person, at coworking training rooms in Hyderabad. The exact venue nearest you is confirmed once your child is placed in a cohort.
What days and times are classes held? +
Every Saturday and Sunday, same time each week, for the full three months. Consistency is part of how the program works.
How does this relate to CBSE's new AI curriculum? +
CBSE's Computational Thinking & AI curriculum builds foundational classroom awareness. We go further: hands-on, project-based, and outside the constraints of a school syllabus.
Can parents sit in on the classes? +
Regular sessions are child-only, so kids can focus and build independently. Every parent is welcome, and encouraged, to attend Showcase Day.
What happens if my child misses a class? +
Mentors share a short recap and help your child catch up on their project. Missing an occasional session doesn't derail the cohort.
How are mentors vetted, and is my child safe? +
Every mentor is background-verified and assessed on how they teach children, not just their resume. Our full child-safety policy and consent process is shared during your interview.
Is coding still worth learning if AI can code for you? +
More than ever. Understanding how AI actually thinks and builds is what lets a child direct it well, and that understanding doesn't come from using AI tools alone.
Is there a trial before we commit? +
Your discovery interview includes a short, interactive taste of how a real class runs, so your child (and you) know what to expect before joining.
