Still Curious? Frequently Asked Questions
Is prior coding or AI experience required?

Not at all. AI Academy is designed for ages 8–14 with zero prerequisites. Our senseis guide each Ninja from the absolute basics through hands-on projects.

How is AI Academy different from the CREATE program?

CREATE teaches coding through our 9-Belt curriculum — game design with MakeCode, JavaScript, and Unity. AI Academy is laser-focused on AI tools and applications: prompt engineering, generative art, AI-assisted coding, robotics, and more. Many families enroll in both via our Create + AI plan above.

What ages does AI Academy serve?

Ages 8 to 14. Younger kids (ages 5–7) interested in early STEM should check out our JR program.

What is your sensei-to-ninja ratio?

One sensei for every 2 ninjas. AI Academy keeps class sizes intentionally small so every kid gets deep, personalized guidance through complex AI projects.

What AI tools will my child use?

Across the 10 tracks, your Ninja will work with industry-standard tools including ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Experiments, Teachable Machine, LEGO SPIKE Prime, Roblox Studio, Python, and the OpenAI API. See the Topics Overview section above for a full breakdown per track.

Do you have homework?

No homework. AI Academy is structured to be fun and rewarding — kids leave each session with a finished project or experiment they can show off.

How do we schedule sessions each week?

All scheduling is done through the Code Ninjas Parents App. Pick any available time slot that fits your family's schedule.

What if we miss a class?

No worries — schedule a make-up session within 90 days through the Parents App. Membership must stay active, and credits expire after 90 days.

Can we switch between AI Academy and Create + AI later?

Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or switch anytime. Email us at westkatytx@codeninjas.com before your next billing date and changes take effect the following month.

Still have questions? Text or call us at (281) 665-7412 or email westkatytx@codeninjas.com. We're happy to help.
