AI is here.
Prepare your teen.
A 5-week live, small-group course where teens learn to direct AI: frame the problem, steer the tool, and verify the result, instead of blindly trusting it. Taught live by an AI product lead at Archimedes, a Redmond school since 2012.
- Live & interactive
- Max 6 per cohort
- Real project they keep
Your teen is already using AI. The question is whether they're using it well.
Most teens treat AI like a vending machine: type a question, paste the answer, trust it. That's how you get wrong facts, hollow work, and no real learning.
The teens who'll thrive aren't the ones who avoid AI. They're the ones who can direct it and catch its mistakes. This course teaches that skill directly, with a method they'll use on every assignment after the course ends.
The Operator Loop
A simple, repeatable way to work with any AI tool. It is the spine of all five weeks.
Define the task, the context, and what a good answer looks like, before you ask.
Guide the AI with clear instructions and follow-ups instead of taking the first reply.
Test the result against facts and judgment, and catch what the AI gets wrong.
Frame → Direct → Verify. Once they own the loop, they can apply it to homework, research, coding, and whatever tools come next.
Five weeks, one operator's toolkit
Each week builds on the loop and ends with hands-on practice. Final week, they ship a real project they keep.
What makes this different
- Live & interactive: taught in real time, not pre-recorded videos.
- Max 6 students per cohort, so every teen gets real attention.
- A named method: the Operator Loop, used every week.
- A real project they keep, proof of what they learned.
- Taught by a working AI product lead, not a generalist reading slides.
- A real Redmond school since 2012, not a pop-up course.
