Build with Tech: An Arizona ESA Coding & Tech Class for Teens

Build with Tech: An Arizona ESA Coding & Tech Class for Teens

July 28th - December 1st

Every Tuesday at 8:00-9:00 AM

Grades 6–12 (ages 11–18)

Limited Spots, capped at 12

A live, online class where middle and high schoolers build websites, apps, AI tools, and more using AI the way real developers do, while actually understanding what's going on under the hood.

Who We Are

A Homeschool Tech Class That Actually Teaches Them to Build

Anyone can prompt an AI. We teach your kid to actually build and to know when the AI is wrong.

Most coding classes are out of date the moment they're taught. The newer ones swing the other way and just teach kids to ask AI for answers which leaves them helpless the second it's wrong.

This is the class in between. Your student learns real coding fundamentals how the web, apps, data, and AI actually work and uses AI the way professional developers do: to work faster and smarter, not to do the work for them. So when the AI gets something wrong (and it will), they can recognize it, fix it, and stay in control. That's the skill that doesn't expire when the tools change.

What Your Student Will Learn

One Tech Class, Four Fields Your Kid Will Explore

Instead of grinding one language all semester, Build with Tech moves through four fields over 16 weeks, about four weeks each. Your student gets a real taste of each, builds something in every one, and walks away knowing which corner of tech they actually love.

HTML and CSS

Web Development

Learn: How a webpage is actually built HTML is the structure, CSS is the style, JavaScript is the behavior

Build: Write real HTML to build the skeleton of a page and see it render in the browser.

Learn: How websites actually go live hosting and domains, in plain terms.

Final: A real website, running

Taught from a Professional Web/App Developer

App Development

Learn: The difference between a website and an app

Learn: How to write the logic that makes an app do things: handling input, making decisions, updating the screen.

Learn: How apps store and recall information, and why an app can "work"

Final: a working app.

Build: Write the real JavaScript that powers the app. Use AI to accelerate, and learn to direct it instead of accepting whatever it hands back.

Understanding Data

Learn: How data is structured (tables, rows, columns) and how real analysts turn raw numbers into answers.

Learn: How to ask precise questions of data filtering, sorting, summing, grouping through spreadsheets and a friendly intro to SQL

Learn: How to turn findings into a clear insight and a visual and, critically, how to recognize when AI gets numbers wrong.

Build: Build a clean "here's what's really going on" report or dashboard and present it to the cohort.

AI Fundementals

Learn: What's really happening inside AI, pattern prediction, trained on enormous amounts of data (a direct callback to the Data section), why it gets things wrong, and what it's genuinely good and bad at.

Learn: How to connect real code to an AI through an API using the JavaScript skills they already have.

Learn: How to prompt and structure an AI tool so it's reliable applying everything they now know about its limits.

Final: Learn: How to prompt and structure an AI tool so it's reliable — applying everything they now know about its limits.

What Your Student Walks Away With

We care as much about who your kid becomes as what they build. By December, they'll have both.

The skills and the four projects are real but they're only part of it. Here's what your kid truly carries with them:


The quiet confidence of a builder. They'll have made four real things with their own hands and that "I can actually build this" feeling doesn't leave.

A real understanding of how technology works, so the web, apps, data, and AI stop being magic and start being things they can shape and direct.

The people skills that come from building with others, standing up and presenting their work, collaborating with a cohort, and giving and taking honest feedback without taking it personally.

A small community that gets them, kids who think the way they do, who showed up each week and pushed each other to finish what they started.

Meet Your Teachers

We built the life most kids are told isn't possible and we want to show them how.

Aden and Kelsie run Escape Web Development, a web design, SEO, and AI agency from Thailand. We work with business owners all over the world, and we built our entire careers on the exact skills we now teach: making things people actually want, getting them found online, and using AI to do it faster than everyone else.
