Concept Brief · powered by Build and Launch AI

The dog didn't eat it. An AI built it.

Guided, hands-on AI workshops for ages 9–13, where kids bring the imagination, an instructor drives, and everyone walks away understanding and harnessing the power of AI.

Pre-launch Phase: Community Feedback
What it is

Not another tutoring program. A creative clubhouse for the AI age.

DAMH runs short, self-contained workshops that teach kids how to use AI to make real things — a movie, a storybook, a song, a little website. The technical heavy lifting is handled by AI under an instructor's guidance, so a 9-year-old can experience the full creative and problem-solving process without hitting a technical wall. Online-first to start, with possible in-person sessions in the future.

How it works

Instructor at the wheel. Kids in the passenger seat, learning to drive.

01

You bring the idea

A movie, a business, a game, a story — the kid supplies the imagination and creative direction.

02

AI does the heavy lift

Our instructor operates the AI live and shows exactly how to turn the idea into something real, step by step.

03

Take it home, safely

Kids leave understanding the tools and the process — to keep exploring at home, under a parent's supervision.

Turbo the bulldog mascot
Meet Turbo

Your kid steers. Turbo brings the horsepower.

Turbo is our bulldog mascot — and the whole idea in one character. AI is a turbocharger: it makes you fast, but you still have to drive. Turbo handles the technical horsepower so kids stay in the driver's seat, learning to steer.

Slow to start, fast to launch. 🐾

Why parents should lean in

  • An instructor operates the AI — kids observe and learn; the tools aren't handed over.
  • Parents are the account holders and sign up for the workshops they want, à la carte.
  • A dedicated parent session makes safety, privacy, and smart use a feature — not fine print.
  • Broad, future-ready skills their kid can carry into whatever comes next.

How we test it

Keep it lightweight. Put the workshop ideas in front of kids and parents, see which spark real interest, then run one or two live to gather feedback.

Float the idea menu Gauge interest Run 1–2 pilots NPS from kids + parents

Online-first to keep costs low. If it lands, the path opens to brick-and-mortar, class subscriptions, or a longer multi-seminar program.
