Creative Coding Camp for Kids

A parent-friendly AI summer camp and creative coding camp in Southern California, serving families near Los Angeles and Orange County. Kids build AI literacy by making real apps, games, stories, and learning tools. Not chatbot time. Guided practice using AI to plan, build, test, revise, and explain something that works.

Your child learns how to ask AI for specific, useful help.

They build real interactive projects instead of only chatting with a bot.

They practice testing, revising, and explaining what the AI produced.

You get a clearer window into what AI literacy actually looks like.

What AI literacy means here

Practical skills parents can actually recognize.

Sandbox treats AI like a tool for making, not a personality to hang out with. The learning comes from the loop: describe an idea, inspect what happened, improve the prompt, and make the project stronger.

Prompt with purpose

Kids learn to turn fuzzy ideas into clear instructions, then compare what the AI built against what they actually meant.

Make real software

Every project has a visible result: a game, quiz app, drawing tool, story builder, or learning project they can use and demo.

Iterate like builders

Kids test, revise, and polish so AI becomes a tool they can direct, not a shortcut they passively accept.

Program shape

Designed for families who want useful AI exposure.

Sandbox is starting as a waitlist while we shape the first cohorts. The goal is to give kids confident, supervised practice with AI through STEM and creative coding projects, and give parents a clearer answer to what productive AI use can look like.

Southern California pilots

Small-group workshops for families, schools, and local learning communities across Southern California.

Online cohorts

Live remote sessions with guided builds, project feedback, and a final demo day.

Parent-aware by design

Built around kid-safe AI usage, practical literacy, and clear family visibility.
