What your child will work toward

  • Builder Program — Students starting from an idea or a problem they've noticed, who want to build their first working product. Prior coding experience is not required. Works toward: A clearly scoped problem and user; A functional prototype or product; Feedback from relevant users; Improvements based on that feedback; A demo explaining what was built and what was learned. Online Sundays 10:30 AM–12:00 PM PT.
  • Founder Program — Students who have already built something — an app, website, tool or product — and want to test demand, find customers and grow it. Works toward: Evidence from customer conversations and demand tests; A clearer target customer and offer; Outreach and sales experiments; Improvements to an existing product; An evidence-based decision about next steps. Online Sundays 8:30–10:00 AM PT.

These are the deliverables students work toward, not guarantees. Tuition is $1,200 per student for 12 weeks, paid after acceptance. Installment options available—ask us for details. Apply first; a few questions recommend Builder or Founder for each child and a short conversation confirms the fit. Saturday in-person sessions at MAPS Redmond, WA run on a separate schedule.
