A library.
A clubhouse.
For kids who want to
build with AI.
Hi, Bot is where kids ages 8–16 learn AI the way kids actually learn things — by making weird stuff that works, with people who know how, in a place that feels good to be in.

› The four zones
Four ways to build with AI. All four are online today.
We built these four zones around the way kids actually learn — by interest, by hand, by showing each other. (A fair amount of it was mapped out with the founder's own daughter.) Each one is a self-paced online track right now; each one becomes a room when the clubhouse opens. Pick one. Try them all.
AI Arena
Ages 11–16Strategy games & competitive AI — play, coach, ship agents.
Kids design, train, and tune small AIs for head-to-head play — strategy boards, RL game players, prompt-arena bots — with coaching after matches. Public leaderboards. Quarterly tournaments.
Build Studio
Ages 10–16Apps, games, short films — AI as co-creator and reviewer.
An open shop where kids design and launch real things — websites, games, tools, short films — using AI for design, scaffolding, and code review. Output is the rubric, not screen time.
Robotics & Physical AI
Ages 8–16LEGO-class builds to competition-ready bots. AI on-device.
Build robots that can see, think, and move. Kids start with beginner-friendly kits like LEGO Spike and VEX, then add sensors, servos, and cameras — using AI to help debug the code. The robots navigate, sort objects, race, and play. Hands get dirty.
AIPreneurship Lab
Ages 12–16Ship a small thing. Learn pricing, demos, and iteration.
Kids build an AI-powered tool people might actually use — a tutoring helper, a club workflow bot, a printable workbook generator — and practice the full loop: interviews, demos, iteration, and a public showcase. Some may even pilot their project with a real customer — always with mentor guidance and family approval.

› Our shape
The library, and the clubhouse.
A library is calm, curious, and serious about what it puts on the shelves. A clubhouse is warm, weird, and yours. Most kids' programs pick one. We've built both, side-by-side, in one room.
Hi, Bot is editorial in voice — we believe in primary sources, in showing your work, in the dignity of being eight or eleven or fifteen and meaning what you say. And it's a clubhouse in practice — robots half-built on the floor, snacks, sticker walls, finished projects on display like trophies.
We are a structured workshop, not open-ended passive screen time. The goal is skills and projects you can point to — mentors set the bar, kids drive the keyboard.
› How it works
Three steps from "what's this?" to your kid showing you something they built.
- 01
Try a zone tonight
Open a free track project or start an online zone with an Activities Pass. No open house to wait for. Your kid will know within thirty minutes.
- 02
Pick a track
Four zones, self-paced, with project briefs that end in something they can show you. Go deep on one or sample all four.
- 03
Build, show, repeat
Every track ends in something shippable — a working thing friends and family can actually try, and watching them stand a little taller.
› From the founder
"The kids who learn to build with AI — not just use it, not just avoid it — are going to do extraordinary things. We made the place we wish we'd had."
