Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life, to know how to identify digital traps, and to use Word, Excel, etc. without difficulty.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

B- PERSONALIZED TUTORING: LEARNING HOW TO REASON
Machine learning and artificial intelligence become much more accessible when mathematics, algorithms, Python code, data, and real-world applications are clearly connected.

My lessons help you move beyond simply copying code or using models as “black boxes.” You will learn how to define the problem correctly, prepare the data, select an appropriate algorithm, understand how it works, train and evaluate the model, diagnose errors, improve performance, and interpret results rigorously and responsibly.

Each lesson is personalized according to your current level, mathematical background, programming experience, dataset, university work, research project, interview preparation, or professional objective. We begin by identifying your existing knowledge, software environment, expected outcomes, and main conceptual or technical difficulties. We then establish a structured learning plan.

The first free lesson combines a discussion of your background, objectives, and tutoring needs; an initial assessment of your current knowledge; personalized planning and organization of future sessions; and a short trial lesson to determine the most effective learning approach.

A typical session may include conceptual explanation, development of mathematical intuition, live coding, guided implementation, model evaluation, technical problem solving, and a concise summary of the next steps.

You may work with your own dataset, university assignment, research project, or professional problem, provided that confidential information is handled appropriately. I can also provide structured examples and datasets suited to your level.

My goal is not simply to help you run an algorithm. It is to help you understand why it is appropriate, how it learns from data, how to evaluate it correctly, why it may fail, and how to build a reliable, interpretable, and scientifically rigorous solution.

This class covers Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability & Statistics, and Discrete Mathematics, built around your specific course material or exam board rather than a generic syllabus. Each session works through core concepts with clear step-by-step explanations, worked examples, and practice problems, moving from the underlying logic of a topic to applying it confidently in exercises and exams. The focus is on understanding why a method works, not just memorizing steps, so concepts stick and transfer to new problems. Sessions can be structured around exam prep, homework support, or strengthening the foundation ahead of a difficult semester — whichever fits your goals best.
