Homegrown Builders ยท Start with First Build

Make something
worth showing off.

Build a real app, game, website, or tool with AI as your sidekick. No coding experience needed.

One weekend project. Clear steps. A finished thing you can share.

It starts with an idea you actually care about.

Here is what happens next.

First Build is the simple $27 starting point. Your teen makes one useful project first. Then your family decides whether the Build Year is worth pursuing.

01

Get First Build

When enrollment opens, purchase the three-session project experience for $27.

02

Make one real thing

Your teen follows clear steps and finishes an app, website, game, or tool.

03

Choose the next step

Keep the finished work. If Build Year is a fit, the $27 is credited toward founding tuition.

A build club, not a confusing video library

Watch it. Build it. Show it.

01

Watch a short lesson

See the next move, then pause and try it yourself.

02

Build your version

Use the Build Pack to make it your own.

03

Show somebody

Test it, improve it, and have proof you made it.

Proof starts with the work

Not another course people forget.

A project is not complete because a video ended. It is complete when it works, another person tries it, and your teen can explain what they made.

WORKING VERSION

A link or screen that works.

Every First Build has a visible result. Not a folder of half-finished lessons.

HUMAN TEST

Someone else tries it.

A teen shows the project to a real person, listens, and makes one useful improvement.

PORTFOLIO RECORD

Keep the evidence.

Save the problem, the first version, what changed, and what your teen learned.

Founding-family project work and voluntary parent feedback will be added here only with permission.

For parents

Real work.
No mystery.

You get the project plan, safety boundaries, and a simple way to see progress. Your teen gets room to create without you becoming the technical teacher.
