Interactive coding sessions for children aged 8-14, blending AI tools with hands-on learning in a fun environment.
AI-Powered Coding Workshops for Kids is a local education business offering interactive coding sessions for children aged 8-14. Using beginner-friendly AI platforms like Scratch with AI extensions and Google's Teachable Machine, we create fun, hands-on projects that teach visual programming concepts. The workshops focus on immediate results to keep kids engaged, with structured 90-minute sessions in community centers or rented spaces. Instructors guide children through creating simple AI projects like image classifiers or game characters, requiring no advanced coding skills from staff. This part-time business operates with flexible scheduling, targeting parents seeking educational activities that align with New Year learning goals while introducing practical AI concepts in a safe, supervised environment.
