The learning path

A clear, 10 weeks journey, unit by unit

Parent questions

Everything you’re wondering

Some coding comfort, ideally basic Python. Our Python Programming or How LLMs Work courses are the perfect lead-ins for a confident start.

No. Students work within LearnX sandbox credits, and a whole module is dedicated to budget-aware, responsible usage. There are no surprise bills.

It is the most in-demand shift in the field right now. Your teen builds real, working agents that plan, use tools and finish tasks, not slideware.

A deployed, self-built automation is a standout portfolio piece. Mentors help frame the capstone for applications and interviews.
