Start small. Keep building when it clicks.
Start with one real project. Continue only when your family sees that the structure works. You do not need to commit to a year before your teen has made something.
What you are actually buying
A path to a finished project, not a pile of AI prompts.

First Build will be available year-round when checkout opens. If your family later joins the Build Year, the $27 First Build purchase is credited toward Build Year tuition. Founding families who enroll before October 5 receive the Start-Now Kit immediately, then begin the first shared Build Pack together. During the founding phase, enrollment closes at 25 families so the first group can start with manageable support.
