This holiday, your child builds a real app with AI and gets their own link to it.

Yes, a laptop is strongly recommended. Any Windows 10/11 laptop, Mac or Chromebook with 4 GB of memory or more will do. Brand and age don't matter. We set up the AI tools for your child, so you don't have to install anything first.

No laptop? Here are your options:

1. A phone works for the browser-based AI agent. An Android phone or iPhone with Chrome or Safari can build and publish an app. It's slower to type on, but it works.
2. Add a Bluetooth keyboard to the phone to make typing much easier.
3. A tablet with a keyboard works the same way as a phone.
4. Benin City only: we have a small number of loaner laptops. Ask in the chat before paying to reserve one.

Each child needs their own device during sessions, so siblings can't share one.

Yes. The bootcamp is built for complete beginners. Children describe what they want in plain English, and the AI writes the code. They learn to read it, test it, fix it and improve it. Students who have coded before go further in the same sessions.

• At least two adults are present in every session. No staff member has a private one-to-one video call with a child.
• Online sessions are recorded. Recordings are shared only with that class's parents, through a private link.
• We communicate with parents. Children don't need to share a phone number, and we don't add children to chat groups.
• Under-13s use accounts that our staff set up and manage, so they don't have to sign up for services built for adults.
• Children's apps must not collect real personal data such as home addresses, phone numbers or school names. Teachers check every app before it is published.
• Teachers supervise all AI use during sessions. We teach children to check what AI tells them rather than trust it blindly.

Yes. Online sessions are recorded so your child can catch up on anything they miss. Every family also gets a recording of their child's Demo Day presentation. Recordings are never posted publicly without a parent's written consent.

Watch the recording and bring any questions to the next session or to the optional help desk on Wednesday 30 December. Every session ends with a short task your child can finish at home.

You get a full refund if you ask any time before the first session, or within 48 hours after the first session ends. After that, we can't refund, but you can transfer the seat to a sibling or a friend in the same track. Refunds go back to the account you paid from within 7 working days.

No. AI access comes through AfricanOps, and a Starter credit is included in the price. Seniors also learn the professional tools used in the school course. Apps are published to the web with here.now. Free accounts are set up in Session 1, and staff manage them for under-13s.

Yes. We publish every Demo Day app from a permanent account, so the links don't expire after a day. Your child also keeps their AfricanOps credit to carry on building and to update their app.

We don't promise that, and nobody honestly can. What your child will have is a real skill, a working app with a link they can show people, and the confidence to build the next one.

Yes. It's the same sessions, tracks and Demo Day. Online classes run at 3pm UK and 10am US Eastern time. Demo Day is online, so grandparents in Nigeria can watch too.
