Day 1
Idea, scope, and first screen.
Pick a tiny app idea, define the user, sketch the first version, and use Codex to create the starting point.
Young Builders Lab
A teen AI app class for first-time builders.
A beginner-friendly class where teens learn how an idea becomes a simple working app with Codex, structure, testing, and a little taste.
Class promise
Teens learn by making, not by watching AI hype.
The goal is a first app they can explain: what it does, who it helps, how it changed, and what they would improve next.
Day 2
Make it work.
Add behavior, fix errors, ask better questions, and learn how to test instead of just trusting the AI.
Day 3
Polish and demo.
Improve the interface, finish the core flow, practice explaining it, and leave with a next-build plan.
Parent read
Useful AI literacy for families who want more than consumption.
This class is designed to turn screen time into building time. Students still need adult support, good judgment, and realistic expectations, but they also deserve to see what making things feels like.
- Beginner friendlyNo advanced coding background required.
- Hands-on paceShort teaching blocks, then build time with help.
- Small scopeOne finished first app is better than five half-ideas.
- Family proofTitus's own builder path helps make the idea feel real for other teens.
