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.

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

The outcome

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.

01Python GameReal game loop: input, rules, score, win and lose states.
02Quiz ApplicationWrites questions, marks answers, and explains the wrong ones.
03Personal WebsiteTheir own domain-ready page, hand-written HTML and CSS.
04API ApplicationCalls a live service, handles the response, fails gracefully.
05AI Story GeneratorWrites the story, generates the art, lays out the pages.
06AI Study AssistantAnswers in their subject, with the prompt they wrote behind it.

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.

What gets marked

3 assessed pieces of work. Everything else is practice.

A Python quiz with boundary test casesweek 8
  • 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 small data investigationweek 10
  • 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
The tested application and its explanationweek 16
  • 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.

Before you enrol

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

ScratchPythonPython TutorGoogle ColabHTMLCSSJavaScript basicsAPIsAI APIs

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.

  1. AI Creator LabClasses 4-6 · 12 weeks
  2. Coding & AI BuilderClasses 6-8 · 16 weeksThis year
  3. Young AI EngineerClasses 8-10 · 16 weeks
  4. 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.

Questions

Before you enrol

Is this the right class for my child?
This program is designed for Classes 6-8. If your child is outside that range, or you are unsure, Find the Right Program recommends exactly one, and the free class confirms the fit.
What happens if they miss a class?
Lessons and guided practice stay available in the platform, and mentors help students catch up in the next session.
What equipment is needed?
A regular laptop with a browser is enough to start. Mentors help with any setup in class.
How are projects reviewed?
A mentor reviews every submitted project with marks and written feedback. Students can improve and resubmit.
Is this included in an Alpha Plus plan?
Partly. A plan for your child's class already opens this program's self-paced material. Enrolling adds the live part: scheduled sessions with a mentor, marked practicals and Demo Day.

Ready when your child is

The first class is free and includes a small hands-on project. Enrol whenever you are ready; the price is ₹11,999 for the whole program.
