Mini App Developer Workshop

A focused app-building workshop for kids ages 10-14 where students build their own app from scratch with the support of AI tools, structured guidance, and enough attention to create something they are proud to show.

What Students Build

From idea to working app prototype.

Students start with an idea, shape it into a useful app concept, and build a working prototype with AI-assisted development. The goal is not just to follow steps. The goal is for each child to understand what they are making and leave with something that feels personal, practical, and worth sharing.

App Thinking

They learn how apps are planned.

Students think through the problem their app solves, who it is for, what features matter, and how to turn a rough idea into a clear build plan.

AI Support

They use AI as a creative tool.

AI helps students brainstorm, debug, improve interface ideas, and move faster, while instructors keep the focus on understanding, decision-making, and responsible use.

Small Groups

They get focused attention.

With a maximum instructor-to-child ratio of 1:6, students have the time to ask questions, get feedback, and keep moving when they hit a challenge.

Proud Finish

They present something real.

By the end of the workshop, each student has an app prototype they can explain, improve, and feel proud of because it came from their own idea.

Daily Flow

Flexible formats. One focused build.

Families can choose between a weekday format or a weekend format. The 3-day weekday option runs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with two available time slots. The 2-day weekend option runs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, keeping each session focused and manageable for students.

For Parents

Built for ages 10-14.

The workshop is designed for curious students who want to make something of their own, whether they are new to coding or already interested in apps, AI, games, design, or technology.

Outcome

A real sense of ownership.

Your child will not just watch a demo. They will be guided through a build process and come away with an app prototype they can describe, present, and continue improving.
