Questions parents ask
Is the free lesson really free?
Yes. No card and no trial that turns into a payment. You give a parent email, confirm it, and the lesson opens. The Starter course is a separate purchase, only if you want it.
Is this cheating?
Not when it's their own project. The lessons are about building something of their own, not schoolwork. They finish with an authorship card that says what they did and what the AI did. If their school has rules about AI, those still apply to schoolwork.
Can't they just use a chatbot?
They can, and many already do. The lessons add an order to follow, help at the usual sticking points and an email to you each time they publish an app. They run in our Lab, in the browser: nothing to install and no account for your teen.
Does my teen need to know how to code?
No. They describe what they want in plain English and use AI tools to build it. They learn how apps fit together along the way.
What does my teen need?
A computer works best for building. A phone works too, but the screen is small. Use the same device and browser each time because progress is saved in that browser.
How involved do I need to be?
Not much. You do one safety check together in Lesson 3. When they publish an app, you get an email with its link and a button to take it down. The rest they do on their own.
How long does it take?
The free lesson takes about 20 minutes in the Lab: video steps with Matilda, and they build as they go. Starter lessons are 3-5 minutes of video each, plus the task at the end: about 35 minutes of video for all 9. Your teen goes at their own pace.
Which AI tools do you use?
One AI, inside our Lab. Your teen doesn't sign up with any AI company. Before a request goes to the AI, the Lab looks for personal details and holds back the requests where it finds them. The lessons also teach your teen never to type them. The privacy notice names the provider and what it keeps.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email [email protected] within 5 days of buying for a full refund.
