Kids ages 8–11. Classes run live online every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00–7:00 PM, in one focused cohort so the pacing and projects match the age group.
Classes are capped at 12 kids so every child gets real attention, screen time with the instructor, and a chance to present their work.
We follow our 'One Story, Many Tools' model — each child picks a personal story and builds it across photography, graphic design, video, safe AI tools and live presentation. They finish with a Creative Portfolio (storyboard, edited photos, poster, short film, AI illustration) emailed to you, plus a Certificate of Completion.
Fill out the Parental Registration and Consent form on this page and pay in the same flow — that's it. You'll get a confirmation email with your class link.
$197 per child. Cancellations 7+ days before the start date receive a full refund; within 7 days, 50% refund or full credit toward a future term. No refunds for no-shows.
Yes — book a free trial class using the Free Trial button on this page. No payment details required.
A laptop, tablet or iPad with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and a quiet spot to work. A phone camera is handy for photo tasks. We guide them through every creative tool we use — nothing to buy or install ahead of time.
You'll receive a class link by email after registering. The same link is used for every session, so you can save it. We recommend joining 5 minutes early.
No. Kids 8–11 can join independently. We just ask a parent to be nearby for the first session in case of any setup or sound issues.
Let us know and we'll send the session recap and the activity so your child can catch up before the next class.
We only use age-safe, teacher-guided tools — kids never create accounts and no personal data is collected. Anything generative is demonstrated on the instructor's screen. Each session is a focused 60 minutes with hands-on making, not passive watching.
We follow PIPEDA. Personal info is used only for running the program and contacting you. Photo and video use is opt-in on the consent form and can be revoked any time. Your child's work is emailed to you at the end of the term.
