What Your Kid Gets in One Week

This isn't tutoring. It's AI literacy: the skill set that schools haven't caught up to teach yet.

πŸ›‘

AI to Learn, Not to Cheat

Day 1 starts with the line between learning and cheating. Your kid will understand the difference before they touch a single tool.

πŸ“–

Study Skills That Cut Homework in Half

AI turns their own notes into flashcards, practice tests, and audio podcasts. "I just made my textbook talk to me."

🎯

A Real Career Roadmap

Not "AI is important." We map 342 careers, analyze AI exposure scores, and build a personalized university + career plan.

πŸ”§

A Live Website in 10 Minutes

By Wednesday, your kid builds and deploys a real website with a shareable URL. Not a simulation. Live on the internet.

πŸ§ͺ

The RCTCO Prompting Framework

A structured 5-part system (Role, Context, Task, Constraints, Output) used by AI professionals. Not random tips.

🧠

Designed for Modern Brains

25-minute blocks, team battles, interest-based personalization. No one sits and listens for 2 hours.
