Good questions deserve plain answers.

Code the Future is a hands-on, year-round AI literacy program and learning platform for kids ages 8–11 in Louisville, Kentucky. Kids learn what artificial intelligence really is by using it through game-like missions and in-person sessions at the public library.

Our established kids curriculum is designed for ages 8–11. We also welcome inquiries and future-program interest from young teens and adults.

Private-session pricing depends on the format and learning goals. We’ll confirm the cost with you before booking. Sending a request or joining the future-program waitlist is free.

Private sessions are scheduled individually. No new group-program dates are announced. Join the waitlist to hear about future opportunities.

Private-session location and format are arranged with you. Our learning platform provides guided missions to support hands-on work.

No experience is needed. Missions start at the beginning and build step by step, so total beginners are right at home.

Kids join with a cohort code and no child email is required. Cohort chat passes through a profanity filter and is visible to staff, there are no ads, and the curriculum was shaped with a child psychologist. Read the full privacy policy.
