Understand what AI actually is
The first session is a clear-eyed tour: what these models do, where they fail, and why they're confidently wrong sometimes. Your teen leaves week one knowing more about AI than most adults do.
AI isn't coming for the jobs your kid will be applying for in five years — it's already reshaping them. We run a six-week after-school cohort that introduces teenagers to AI properly: what it is, what it can and can't do, and how to use it well. Not just for the kid who wants to build apps. For any teen heading into a workforce that will look nothing like the one we grew up with.
Your kid is twelve, maybe fifteen. They'll start their first proper job around 2030. By then, every white-collar role will have been reorganised by AI — some absorbed, some redefined, many created from scratch.
Their school may still be debating whether to allow ChatGPT. The university courses they're being prepared for are written against a workforce that won't exist by the time they graduate. Nobody is meaningfully preparing them for what's actually coming.
We're not panicking. We're just not pretending. The kids who learn to use these tools well now — to think with them, question them, build with them when they want to — walk into 2030 with an enormous head start. That's the cohort we're running.
Not lectures. Not worksheets. Real time at a laptop with a facilitator who works with these tools every day, working on things your teen chose. They leave with something they're proud to show you — and the literacy to use AI for the rest of their schooling.

Revision plans. Practice quizzes. Study tutors for the subjects they struggle with. AI as the patient teacher they don't always have — used properly, with a sharp eye for when it's wrong.
One session a week we look at a real industry — design, law, medicine, trades, marketing — and what's changing in it. So they leave with a sense of what work might actually look like by the time they get there.
By week three they're working on a project of their own choosing. A study tool. A small game. A creative piece. Something they'll demo to you in week six. Not because everyone will become a developer — because making something teaches the tools properly.
Each session is one hour. They walk in with their own laptop, they work, they walk out with something new — a prompt pattern, a working tool, a piece of evidence that AI is now something they understand.
Every facilitator works with AI in real businesses every week. They know what's actually true on a Monday — not what was true in a textbook written 18 months ago.
Josh works with AI every day — building tools, automating work, advising businesses on how to put it to work. He's also a dad to two kids who got pulled into one of his weekend builds and ended up running it themselves. That experience, repeated dozens of times, is the cohort.
What teenagers respond to: someone who actually uses the tools, doesn't talk down, and treats them like junior collaborators. That's the room we run.
WWCC cleared · insured · child-safe policy in placeYes — this is mostly for them. The vast majority of jobs being reshaped by AI aren't coding jobs. Lawyers, marketers, designers, teachers, nurses, tradies running their own businesses — all of them benefit from kids who can use AI well. We deliberately don't make this a "learn to code" cohort. They build something, but the building is the vehicle, not the destination.
Most haven't, properly. We start at zero and build up fast. By week two they're doing things their friends aren't. By week six they're more capable with these tools than most adults at your office.
Quite the opposite. A big chunk of the cohort is "this is when AI is wrong" and "this is how a teacher will know you used it badly." We make them better, more honest users — not sneaky ones. Several teachers have asked us to run our session for staff after their kid came home and explained how to spot AI-generated work.
Every facilitator is WWCC-cleared, fully insured, and signs a child-safe policy. We use AI tools responsibly — students are supervised throughout, prompts are reviewed live, and we work openly so nothing happens off-screen. Sessions run at Panorama in Leederville, a private working space — quiet, supervised, no street access.
Yes — this is BYOD. Each student needs their own laptop they can sign into. Anything from the last few years works (Mac, Windows, Chromebook). They'll need a working browser and the ability to install nothing — everything we use runs in the browser. If your teen doesn't have a laptop, contact us before enrolling and we'll see what we can arrange.
Each session ends with a working artefact, and we send a short recap home. If they miss one, they can catch up. Miss two and we'll have a chat about whether the cohort still makes sense for them — we'd rather refund than have them fall behind.
Six 1-hour sessions in person at Panorama, all materials, refreshments, full facilitation, the showcase event, and a parent recap after every session. Inaugural cohort pricing — future cohorts will be more.
