Should I stop my child using AI tools to write code?
No, and trying would be both futile and counterproductive. These tools are how software is written now, and a student kept away from them is disadvantaged rather than protected. What is worth doing is making sure they can read what comes back. A learner who can review the output gets far more from an AI tool than one who cannot, because they notice when it has quietly done something strange.
Is vibe coding going to make traditional programming obsolete?
Some of it, and not the part that matters here. Typing out boilerplate is already largely gone and nobody should mourn it. What has not become obsolete, and shows no sign of it, is deciding what should be built, judging whether it works, and diagnosing why it does not. Those are the parts this track teaches, and they have become more valuable rather than less as the typing got cheaper.
My child built a whole app but cannot explain it. Is that bad?
It is extremely normal and it is fixable, usually within a term. It means they are operating rather than constructing, which is where nearly everybody starts now. The route out is rungs one and two: Python written by hand and data handled honestly. Neither is glamorous and both go faster than parents expect, because the student is already motivated by things they have made.
Do you actually teach vibe coding, or is this page selling against it?
We teach it and sell it, which is why the page opens by declaring that. There is a vibe coding course for kids and one for teens, and a coding agents course that works with Codex and Claude Code. The argument here is about sequence rather than about worth: build the judgement first, then the tools amplify it instead of substituting for it.
How much does it cost?
A group batch of five to eight students is USD 100 a month and one to one teaching is USD 150 a month, billed in US dollars, the same flat figures everywhere outside India. There is no enrolment fee, no annual contract, and the first class is free without a card.
At what age can a child start with AI tools?
Around nine or ten in our experience, and with an adult nearby. The vibe coding course for kids is built around exactly that: the child directs a tool, gets something back, and then has to work out which parts are broken and repair them. Issuing the instruction takes an afternoon to learn. Evaluating what returns is where the whole course goes.
Will using AI tools stop my child learning to think?
It can, and whether it does depends almost entirely on whether anybody ever asks them to explain what came back. A student who is never asked will not develop the habit. A student who is asked in every session develops it quickly, and then the tool accelerates a mind that is working rather than replacing one that is not. That question is most of what a teacher does here.
What if my child only wants to do the AI tool part?
That is common and it is workable. We start where the motivation is and let the gaps surface naturally, because they always do: within a few weeks something breaks that the tool cannot fix, and at that moment a student who has been resisting Python usually wants it. Teaching that when it is wanted is far easier than insisting on it beforehand.
Does any of this help at school?
Not directly, and nothing here is on an Omani school certificate. What tends to transfer is the habit of specifying a problem precisely before attacking it, which shows up in open-ended assignments across subjects. Several parents have reported that as the first visible change, well before anything technical.
What happens after we send the form?
A mentor calls you at an Omani hour to arrange the free session. Nothing is charged and no card is requested. Sending the form starts a conversation rather than an enrolment and reserves no seat. Where the learner actually is, which is often not where a parent expects, gets settled on that call before money is mentioned.
