Why we started Moonshot.

We started Moonshot to help teenagers find out what they can build with AI.

We believe three things. 1Teenagers learn fast. 2Today, a 14-year-old can build what used to take a four-year computer science degree. 3Most never will, unless they get the right tools and the right environment.

So that's what we do: live, interactive sessions in small groups, where we sit with your child while they go from using AI for homework to building with it.

Some will build an app. Some will solve a problem they care about. In the end, they will tell the story of what they made to their parents and classmates at Launch Day.

Our mission is to help every teenager find out what they can build with AI.

AI, used right, can give your kids superpowers.

Claude Code and Replit put today's most capable AI models in your child's hands. They describe what they want in plain English, the AI writes the code, and they keep at it until it works. One part each Saturday.

  4. Saturday 45 DecLaunch Day

Saturday 1 · 14 Nov

Your child learns how AI guesses one word at a time, and how to catch it being wrong.

  • How it guesses
  • Why it makes things up
  • Giving it a clear job
  • Picking an idea to build

Saturday 2 · 21 Nov

Your child builds a website for their idea and puts it live, on a link you can open on your phone.

  • Who it is for
  • A first page
  • Works on a phone
  • Live on its own link

Saturday 3 · 28 Nov

Your child turns the idea into a working app, then watches five people try it.

  • The one job it does
  • A first version
  • The bug hunt
  • Five people try it

Saturday 4 · 5 Dec

Your child makes a name, a logo and a first ad with AI, then rehearses for Launch Day.

  • A name and a logo
  • A first ad
  • Rehearsing the demo
  • Presenting it live

Every class: 30 minutes on one idea and their own plan, before any AI. Then 2 hours of building, and 30 minutes to show the work and note one mistake the AI made. Each week ends with a short assignment.

Families invited

Launch Day, 5 December.

The last Saturday of the course ends with a show.

  • They present it live

    Each student shows the working app they built, and walks the room through it.

  • Three questions, every talk

    What I built. Who it is for. One thing the AI got wrong.

  • Online? Same call

    Online students present on video, and their family joins the same call from home.

  • What they take home

    Their app and website, each on its own link. A name, a logo and a first ad. A signed certificate with the link.

Why AI, and why now.

Today you can build an app by describing it in plain English, and AI writes the code. Here is what four people at the top of tech say young people should do about that.

“If you are, like, 13 years old, you should spend all of your time vibe-coding.”

“They will grow up vastly more capable than we grew up.”

“Learn all you can about AI.”

“Everyone is a programmer now.”

Picture your child making one of these.

Students pick their own projects, like a cricket game for their friends or a personal sleep app. These three are real examples our team built with Claude Code, to show the size of project we aim for.

  • Last Over

    A cricket game. 36 runs to chase, six balls, one button to swing, and a best score that sticks around.

    Example by our teamAdvanced

  • Logo Lab

    Turns a shop's name into six logos, from a bold stamp to a hand-lettered leaf. Pick one and the shop has a logo.

    Example by our teamIntermediate

  • Beat Lab

    A drum machine in the browser. Six sounds, sixteen steps, no music lessons needed.

    Example by our teamBeginner

  • Your child's app goes here, after 5 December.

Common questions.

Something we did not cover? WhatsApp us on +92 333 7004913, or ask on the call.

What does my child need?

A laptop with the Chrome browser. It does not need to be new or powerful. For the online class, a steady internet connection too. A phone or tablet on its own is not enough to build on.

Are there any other costs?

Yes: $25 per child, for the AI tools they use during the course.

What time are the classes, and how does the online class work?

We will share the details before parent orientation.

What if we miss a week?

We share that week's notes and help them catch up at the start of the next class.

Will it help with university or a job?

We cannot promise admissions or jobs, and nobody honestly can. They will have a live app, real users and a demo they gave, which says more than a certificate. And the judgment we teach, deciding what is worth building and checking the machine, is useful whatever they choose.

Can we get a refund?

Yes, pro rata. If your child withdraws, we refund the weeks still to come. The first week is non-refundable, which is why we talk on the call before you pay.
