Direct it
Instruct AI with precision — break a goal into clear steps and tell the machine exactly what you want.
SCHOOL OF AINow enrolling · Frisco / Plano / The Colony, TX
We teach kids to think, build & create with AI.
Not just how to use AI — how to think with it. In small, in-person classes, kids build real projects while growing the skill their whole generation will be judged on. Taught personally by a senior AI engineer.

Why this matters now
AI just changed what it means to be capable. The kids who thrive won't be the ones who memorized syntax — they'll be the ones who can think and build with AI as a partner.
— the gap most "learn to code" programs miss
"Learn to code" is half the story
The leverage now is in directing the machine — not racing it at typing syntax it already knows.
"Just chat with AI" is the risky half
Kids who only prompt and copy never learn to judge the output — answers without understanding.
Thinking with AI is the real skill
Direct it, judge it, build with it, understand it. A durable way of thinking that compounds for life.
How it works · the four pillars
Every project grows a real thinking skill
Weekly small-group classes where kids don't follow a script — each thing they build strengthens one of four ways of thinking with AI.
Judge it
Evaluate what AI produces instead of trusting it blindly. Spot what's wrong, test it, decide what's good.
Build it
Treat AI as a creative partner, not a vending machine — going further on real projects, still in charge of the idea.
Understand it
An honest mental model of how AI actually works — no magic, no hype. Confidence instead of fear.

The path · level up
A clear way to grow, year after year
Kids start where they are and level up — from visual building to real code to ambitious, AI-first work.

Most kids start at Explorer or Builderand grow from there — each level builds on the last. There's no "top" level; there's always a next thing to build.
Who teaches your kid
Syed
Senior AI Engineer · Founder & Instructor
Not a script handed to a part-time coach. Your kid learns directly from someone who builds AI for a living — so what they learn is current, real, and the way professionals actually think. Small groups mean genuine mentorship, not a crowded classroom.

Built at our very first workshop
No stock photos. Joshua (14) and Noor (11) each picked their own idea and built it — working, customized, in under an hour — then shipped it to their own Klyse portfolio.

Get in touchNope — total beginners are welcome and common. Everything is built so a first-timer can succeed, while kids who've tinkered before still get pushed. We meet each kid where they are.
Ages 9 to 18, grouped by level. Classes are in person in the DFW area — convenient for families in Frisco, Plano, The Colony and nearby. The intro workshop runs at The Colony Public Library.
Real, working things — not worksheets. Games, tools, and AI projects, each chosen to grow a specific thinking skill. In the intro workshop, every kid builds a real project with an AI feature they made themselves.
It's genuinely AI. Kids use real AI tools to build, learn to direct and judge what those tools produce, and get an honest look at how the models actually work — taught by someone who builds AI professionally. No hype, no hand-waving.
Weekly classes are $200/mo for founding families (regularly $250), billed monthly — cancel anytime.
