Course catalog
Every ARYF course maps to a stage of the learning path and one or more tracks. Filter by where your student is — or by what they want to build.
A friendly first encounter with AI. Students learn how large language models think, where they shine, and where they trip up — by building one of their own.
A personalized AI assistant that answers questions about your favorite hobby.
The gentle path from drag-and-drop blocks (Scratch) to real Python. Students build playable projects every session and write their first real lines of code.
An arcade-style game in Scratch + a tiny Python script that automates something fun.
Students put together their first programmable robot, learn how sensors and motors talk to each other, and write the logic that makes it react to the world.
A sumo-style robot that drives, senses obstacles, and reacts to its environment.
A rotating mini-project series. Each weekend, students pick a small everyday problem and build something to solve it — with cardboard, code, or a microcontroller.
Three short "fix the world" mini-inventions and a show-and-tell at the end.
Move from "AI is cool" to "I shipped an AI thing." Students learn prompting, chaining, and the basics of building tools with LLM APIs.
A working AI chatbot or image-classifier you can share with friends and family.
Real game development with sprite art, levels, sound design, and game logic. Students learn to break a big project into doable weekly milestones.
A polished 2D game with original art, multiple levels, and a soundtrack — playable on your phone or browser.
Season-long competition robotics. Students design, build, and drive a tournament robot — learning to iterate under real deadlines and real opponents.
A VEX IQ tournament robot you drive in regional competitions.
HTML, CSS, and a sprinkle of JavaScript — enough to build real websites that work on real phones. Students learn how the web actually fits together.
Your own portfolio site or a club page, hosted on a real URL.
Students stop building toy AI projects and start building useful ones. We pick a real problem in the school or community and design an AI-powered tool to address it.
A working AI solution — tested with real users — for a problem you care about.
The next level of competition robotics. Students CAD their robot, build with metal parts, write autonomous routines, and compete at the V5 level.
A V5 competition robot from CAD to driver controller, plus an autonomous program.
A crash course in product thinking. Students learn how to identify problems worth solving, design for real users, and validate their ideas before committing.
A tested prototype with feedback from at least five real users.
A self-directed invention studio. Students combine hardware (microcontrollers, sensors, motors) with software to build something nobody asked them to.
An original invention — hardware + software — that solves a problem you define.
A startup-style studio. Students pick a problem, validate the demand, build an MVP, and pitch it to a panel — learning to think and act like founders.
A working MVP + pitch deck for a venture you choose.
The intersection of AI and entrepreneurship. Students build AI-powered products and put them in front of real users — learning what people actually pay for.
An AI-powered product, validated with real users and feedback you can quote.
A semester-long capstone. Students choose a project that demonstrates the full range of what they’ve learned — technical, design, and entrepreneurial.
A portfolio-grade capstone project, presented to mentors and parents.
A focused pitch-craft intensive. Students learn to tell the story of a venture — the problem, the solution, the market, the ask — clearly and persuasively.
A startup-style pitch you present to a panel of mentors.

Not sure where to start?
Most students start in Stage 1 or 2 based on age and prior experience. We’ll help you find the right entry point and a path forward.
