Their idea.
Built with AI.
By them.

In your home, in the Reno and Los Angeles areas. I also schedule New York City session windows throughout the year. If you’re in New York, reach out and I’ll share upcoming dates.

Maker Studio is for ages 10 to 13 and gives more hands-on guidance. Build Lab is for ages 14 to 18 and goes deeper into the tools developers use, including agents, APIs, and MCPs. If your child is on the edge of an age range, tell me about them and I’ll help you choose.

Yes, if you’d like. Families may choose private sessions or bring together siblings and friends who already know one another: up to 3 learners in Maker Studio and up to 6 in Build Lab. Each learner still builds their own project.

Maker Studio private instruction is $700 for the complete program of three two-hour sessions. Build Lab private instruction is $850 for the complete program of four two-hour sessions. The only other cost is a ChatGPT Plus subscription on a parent’s account, currently $20 per month.

Send the short inquiry form. I’ll reply within 2 business days about fit, location, and dates. Before the first session, you’ll get a setup guide and a parent acknowledgment to sign. Sessions are confirmed once it’s returned.

Yours. The account belongs to a parent, who controls the login, payment, and privacy settings. You never share passwords with me or your child. For learners under 13, I run the account during sessions while your child directs the work.

Yes. For safety, a parent or guardian must remain in the home throughout every tutoring session, even if they are not sitting with us. You’re welcome to sit in at no extra charge. Maker Studio ends with a required 45-minute parent handoff. Build Lab parents may join the final 15 minutes.

Projects never include passwords, addresses, school names, payment details, or other identifying information. Work starts in private files on your computer. Publishing it online or connecting outside services is a separate decision your family makes.

AI is changing fast, and most schools aren’t teaching kids how to build with it yet. In a spring 2025 RAND survey, only 35% of school district leaders said they provide students with training on AI. Kids who learn now to plan, direct, and check AI build habits that carry into every new tool that comes next.

The program teaches the opposite habit. Your child makes the plan, gives clear directions, and checks everything AI produces. They learn to catch AI’s mistakes and decide what to keep, which keeps them in charge of the tool.

No coding experience is needed. Sessions follow your child’s pace, and each two-hour session can run slightly shorter or longer when the work calls for it.

Each learner chooses a project connected to something they care about. It might be a website, game, quiz, planner, tracker, portfolio, or another useful digital idea.

For six months, your child or you can email me with questions about their project, getting back into it, or what to try next. It doesn’t include new sessions or building things on their behalf.

Give at least 24 hours’ notice and you can reschedule a session at no charge. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged for that session, since the time was reserved for your child. If you cancel the whole program at least 24 hours before the first session, you get a full refund. With less notice than that, one session’s fee is kept and the rest is refunded. If I ever need to cancel, you choose between rescheduling or a refund for that session. Exact terms are confirmed in writing before your first session.
