Classes 6-8
Coding & AI Builder
“I can code and build working applications.”
Your child writes real Python and web code, and builds working applications that use AI.
How the year runs
- Length
- 16 weeks
- Live sessions
- 32, with a mentor
- Marked work
- Practicals, with written feedback
- Ends with
- Build My First AI Application
- Parents see
- Attendance, marks and feedback
An Alpha Plus plan for your child's class already opens this program's self-paced material. Enrolling adds the live part. What a year costs
What your child walks out with
6 finished pieces of work, built one at a time and reviewed by a mentor. Not exercises: things that run, that they can open and show you.
Screens are drawn to show the shape of each build, not one student's work. Finished projects live in your child's own portfolio, which you can open from the parent dashboard.

8 modules, across 32 live sessions. Concepts are introduced when a project needs them.

What gets marked
3 assessed pieces of work. Everything else is practice.
- It handles a wrong answer and an empty answer
- Tests cover at least one boundary case
- The learner can predict the output before running it
- A question was asked before the data was opened
- The answer is supported by what is in the data
- One thing the data cannot answer is stated
- It runs and does what it claims
- There are tests, and one of them once failed
- The learner explains a limitation without being asked
Optional extras: A second data set for the same investigation, Styling the result page, An extra test suite for a classmate's project
How it is marked
Automatic checks, AI suggestions and a mentor's decision are recorded separately, and a mark can be revised after feedback or appealed.
- Functionality and accuracy35%
- Reasoning30%
- Testing and iteration20%
- Communication and responsible use15%
How marking works is the same across every program.
Before week one
No entry check. The first four weeks bridge from blocks to Python, so a child who has only used blocks can start here.
No prior programming needed. The first module bridges from blocks to Python.
What your child needs
Said up front, because a laptop requirement discovered in week three is too late to discover it.
Prior knowledge
None. Beginners start from zero; kids with some Scratch move faster.
Equipment
- Laptop/desktop recommended
- Modern browser
- Basic local setup in later modules
Tools they will use
Every program runs the same way — learn it, build it, get it marked, with what you see as a parent the same throughout.
Where this goes
One year of nine, and it is built to continue
Alpha Euron runs from Class 4 to Class 12. Each program assumes what the one before it taught and hands over to the one after it, so a child who starts in Class 4 finishes school having built for nine years rather than having taken nine unrelated courses.
- AI Creator LabClasses 4-6 · 12 weeks
- Coding & AI BuilderClasses 6-8 · 16 weeksThis year
- Young AI EngineerClasses 8-10 · 16 weeks
- Agentic AI BuilderClasses 10-12 · 16 weeks
After Coding & AI Builder, the natural next step is Young AI Engineer, which opens with build and deploy AI applications.
What they keep when it ends
A portfolio that is theirs
Every reviewed build stays in their account, openable and shareable, after the year ends.
A certificate that can be checked
Issued on completion with a number anyone can verify on this site, without a login.
Demo Day, in front of people
They present the capstone and answer questions on it. Most children have never done that.
The next year, already mapped
Each program ends where the next one starts, so nothing is repeated and nothing is skipped.
