Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our programmes and platform.
About the Programme
What is Build AI With Us?
Build AI With Us is a live AI mentorship platform offering 1:1 and small-group learning. Our core audience is Kids & teens ages 10+, and adult learners are also accepted.
Who is this programme for?
Our core audience is Kids & teens ages 10+. Adult learners are also accepted, including through our advanced and upskill options.
What will my child actually learn?
Students learn practical AI skills including Python programming, machine learning fundamentals, prompt engineering, building AI-powered applications, and automation. The curriculum is hands-on — students build real projects, not just follow tutorials.
How is this different from other coding courses?
Most coding courses teach syntax and theory. We focus on building. Every student works on real projects they can show off, with a mentor who has 20+ years of industry experience at Fortune 500 companies. Sessions are 1:1 or small group, so your child gets direct, personalised attention — not pre-recorded videos.
Sessions & Scheduling
How are sessions conducted?
All live sessions are conducted via Zoom. Students receive a Zoom link before each session. Sessions are interactive — not passive watching. Students screen-share their work, ask questions in real time, and get immediate feedback.
How long is each session?
Sessions are typically 60 minutes. Depending on the programme and topic, some sessions may run 30, 45, or up to 90 minutes. Your schedule is agreed upon during the initial assessment.
How do I book a session?
New students start with a Free Trial Class. Click "Book Free Trial Class" to choose a Saturday class. Once enrolled, your regular session schedule is set up through the LMS portal.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Please give at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may be charged. Sessions cancelled by the teacher with less than 24 hours notice will be rescheduled at no cost to you.
Are sessions recorded?
Sessions are recorded. This is the approved supervision standard: Recorded Session.
The LMS Platform
What is the LMS portal?
The Learning Management System (LMS) at lms.buildaiwithus.com is where students access their curriculum, complete quizzes, track progress, chat with their teacher, and join Zoom sessions. It works on any modern browser — no downloads required.
How do students get access to the LMS?
Once enrolled, we create your account and send login credentials to the parent's email. Students log in with their email and password. Parents can request account access to monitor their child's progress.
What is the AI Teaching Assistant?
Teachers on our platform have access to an AI Teaching Assistant powered by DeepSeek. Teachers use it to prepare lesson plans, explain complex topics, and generate additional practice material. Students interact with their human teacher — the AI assists the teacher behind the scenes.
How are quizzes graded?
Quizzes are graded by our AI system which provides instant scores and per-question feedback. Teachers review AI grades and can adjust them. Essay and open-ended answers receive detailed written feedback from both the AI and the teacher.
Pricing & Payments
How much does it cost?
Ages 10–13: $45 per 1:1 session or $200 per month for a group/cohort. Ages 14+: $55 per 1:1 session or $300 per month for a group/cohort.
Is there a Free Trial Class?
Yes. The Free Trial Class runs every saturday, has a maximum capacity of 5, and requires no credit card. It helps us understand the learner's current skill level, goals, and learning style.
What is your refund policy?
Refund requests must be submitted within 7 days of the session date in question. We review each request individually. Unused sessions in a package can be transferred to a future period with at least 72 hours notice. Please see our Terms of Use for full details.
Safety & Privacy
Is the platform safe for children?
Yes. Student accounts are created by our administrative team — students cannot self-register. Session supervision means a recorded session. We collect only the minimum personal information necessary to deliver the education service.
Who can see my child's data and progress?
Only the assigned teacher, the student, and our administrators can access a student's profile, progress, and submissions. We do not share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Do you comply with children's privacy laws?
Yes. We follow applicable privacy regulations including COPPA principles for students under 13. Parents can request to view, update, or delete their child's data at any time by emailing [email protected].
Technical Requirements
What equipment does my child need?
A computer or laptop (Mac or Windows) with a working camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari). A tablet may work for viewing lessons but is not recommended for coding sessions.
Do I need to install anything?
The LMS runs entirely in the browser — no installation needed. For live sessions, Zoom can be used in the browser or via the free Zoom desktop app. Your teacher may recommend installing Python or specific tools depending on the programme.
