Apply to Founding Families — SayMake Kids Project Builder
SayMake’s Founding Families cohort is a small, application-only group for kids ages 7–14 who are ready to start building. Every week your child works on a hands-on AI build challenge, guided by their personal Build Coach. By the end they have a real portfolio of projects that are genuinely theirs — in their voice, built by their hands.
What the cohort includes
Weekly build challenges designed around your child’s interests. A personal AI Build Coach that asks the next good question instead of giving the answer. A small founding group so every child gets real attention. A portfolio of finished projects your child owns. A 15-minute intro call with the founder before you commit. We read every application by hand.
Who it’s for
Kids in grades 3–8 (ages 7–14) who have ideas they want to make real, who get bored of passive screen time, or who are ready for a creative challenge that doesn’t fit neatly into school. No coding experience needed — the Build Coach meets your child exactly where they are.
The founding group offer
The Founding Families group tier is $50 per month. Places are limited and acceptance is not guaranteed — we work with a small founding group so we can give every kid meaningful attention. After you apply, a founder reads your answers personally and reaches out within a few days to set up a short call.
