Curiosity Builds!
Learn to build with AI through hands-on courses, or get help bringing your idea to life. Real projects, better questions.
We're building a working first version website, tool, or experiment using cutting-edge AI tools. You'll leave with:
- A working version of your idea
- Skills in modern coding techniques
- AI literacy and practical experience
Follow your curiosity. Leave with something you can't stop thinking about — or the small problem you want solved.
No prep required. We'll guide the AI tools.
Examples
We'll keep adding builds here.

What makes a good Curiosity Builds! idea
It's curiosity-driven
Starts with something you genuinely want to understand, explore, or untangle — and we turn that curiosity into a real first version.
It makes your life easier or clearer
Great fits: everyday problems, personal systems, learning projects, or tools you wish existed (like a lending library, tracker, organizer, guide, checklist, or interactive reference).
A simple first version is possible
We build a working v1 you can click and use. Big visions are welcome, but we'll start with something we can realistically ship in a short build.
Web-friendly and accessible
Best fits: simple websites, lightweight tools, interactive pages, and small experiments. Not a great fit: hardware projects or deep locked-down integrations.
You'll build with AI (and learn how to use it well)
We use modern AI tools to build fast and think clearly. You don't need to be technical — you'll leave with practical AI literacy and the ability to collaborate with AI, test ideas, and judge outputs without outsourcing your thinking.
We'll send a short prep guide so you can come in ready — and get the most build time possible. If there's something in your life you wish worked better, we can help you build a small tool around it.
Curiosity Builds! Course
A curriculum for educators who want students to build by following their questions.
