Live builder program for ages 13-18
Every teenager has ideas. We help build them into reality.
A 10-week live program where students discover real problems, build AI-powered products, and present them on Demo Day.
No coding required. Just curiosity, creativity, and a laptop.
Why now
The world has changed.
Twenty years ago, building software required programmers, designers, money, and months of work. Today, one curious student with AI can research, prototype, test, and launch ideas faster than ever before.
We don't teach students to memorize AI tools. We teach them to think like builders.

The program
A 10-week journey from idea to real product.
Otter Builders Club is a live, hands-on builder program for students aged 13-18. Students learn how to notice real problems, understand users, design simple solutions, build prototypes with AI/no-code tools, test with real people, and present their work.
Discover real problems
Students learn to observe daily friction, ask better questions, and define problems worth solving.
Build real solutions
They turn ideas into simple prototypes using AI, no-code tools, and product design habits.
Present to real users
Students test, improve, and communicate their work with confidence on Demo Day.
