Where young African makers build real robots & AI — together

Live sessions with real trainers, a cohort of young makers, and projects built with what you already have — no expensive kit required. The courses come included; the community and the live push are what make it stick. One account covers the whole family.

🔥 Founding 100. Be one of the first 100 founding families — lifetime founding status, a place on our founders wall, first access, and 40% off your first 12 months. Free projects & AI courses are live today; live sessions and the robotics lab begin as soon as the founding cohort fills. Risk-free: full refund within 10 days if you haven’t completed a course or joined a live session.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family plan. One membership covers every child in your household — no per-child seats to manage.

What’s the difference between Free, Club and Premium?

They differ by how much live time and cohort you get — the courses come included. Free: the 34 projects, the Builds Wall and certificates. Club: a monthly live group session with a Kenyan trainer, the AI self-paced courses, a new build each month and the maker community. Premium: a small live cohort (max 8 kids, your own trainer, two classes a month), all 17 courses including the robotics lab, parent progress reports and a termly demo day.

How do the live cohorts work? Will there be a spot?

Premium cohorts are deliberately small — max 8 kids with their own trainer — so every child is seen. We have a team of 10 trainers running several cohorts in parallel, grouped by age and level, so there’s a spot and a time that fits. Club’s monthly session is a larger group open to all members.

Do we need to buy a kit?

No. The AI courses run in a browser, and the robotics courses are built to work with everyday parts you already have plus a cheap microcontroller and a free simulator — our resources guide shows how. A Maker Kit is an optional convenience if you’d rather have everything in one box; it’s never required.

What’s a founding member?

The first 100 families to join. You keep lifetime founding status (a place on our founders wall, first access to everything new, and a direct line to the team) and 40% off your first 12 months. When the 100 places are gone, the founding offer closes.

What if we change our mind?

You’re covered by a 10-day money-back guarantee — a full refund within 10 days if you haven’t completed a course or joined a live session. Monthly plans aren’t locked in; cancel any time.

Can we invite a friend?

Yes — refer a friend and you both get a free month once they join. Message us on WhatsApp with your friend’s name after they sign up and we’ll add the month to both accounts.

When does everything go live?

The free projects and self-paced AI courses are available now. The live sessions, robotics lab, parent progress reports and demo days start as soon as the founding cohort fills — founding members get them first.

How do I pay?
