A parent or guardian applies together with the teen. We reply within a few days. Nothing is due at application: pricing and the details come after a short call.
Who should apply
Thirteen to seventeen, curious about building something with AI, and willing to talk to strangers about it.
You want your teen to build real work, not collect another activity for a college application.
The Path takes 5-8 hours a week for a semester. That time has to come from somewhere, on purpose.
The founding cohort
Twelve months of Studio, the Academy, and the founder's time. Pricing is shared on the call, not on the site.
Twelve months. Pricing is shared on the application call.
Why a founding cohort
The founding cohort stays small on purpose, so every gate gets read by a real person and every family gets weekly time with the founder.
Weekly group office hours and written feedback on every gate, not a support queue. That level of access does not scale past a founding cohort.
Studio is being built while you're in the program. What founding families ask for becomes part of what ships, starting with the parent view.
What happens next
The founder reads every application. No form gets a form-letter reply.
A short call with the parent and the teen together, to make sure the program fits. This is where we share founding cohort pricing.
If it's a fit, the founder confirms the details with the parent directly and holds a place in the cohort.
The first lesson is Why Make First. We do not publish a start date here; accepted families get exact dates directly.
