AI Product Academy teaches young people to think like product builders — using design thinking and AI to solve real problems and ship real products.
Anyone can prompt an AI to generate code. But building a product people actually want requires empathy, critical thinking, and a structured process. That's what we teach.
Reading, writing, math — and now AI. Teens who learn to work with AI as a creative tool will have an unfair advantage in any career they choose.
Standardized education rewards memorization. But the most valuable skill in the AI era is knowing which problems are worth solving — and how to solve them.
I've spent 15+ years in the tech industry leading product design at companies used by millions. I've written two Amazon bestselling books in the UX/App category. I've seen firsthand what separates great products from mediocre ones.
I watched my teenage daughter identify a real problem her friends had — forgetting homework and procrastinating — and build an actual app to solve it using AI. No coding classes. No bootcamp. Just a clear process and the right tools. That moment changed everything for me.
Schools are designed for a world that no longer exists. They teach subjects in isolation, reward right answers over good questions, and have no framework for building real things. Our kids deserve better preparation for the world they'll actually enter.
AI Product Academy combines the professional product development process I've used for 15 years with AI tools that make building accessible to anyone. It's the education I wish every teen had access to — starting with my own kids.
We teach the same 5-step process used by professional product teams — adapted for teens and powered by AI.
Interview real people. Understand their frustrations, habits, and unmet needs. Learn to see the world through someone else's eyes.
Research existing solutions. Find the gap. Define a specific problem worth solving — not just any problem, the right one.
Generate multiple solutions. Evaluate trade-offs. Pick the approach that best serves your users with the resources you have.
Use AI tools to go from idea to working prototype. No coding experience needed — just clear thinking and the right prompts.
Put your product in front of real users. Gather feedback. Iterate. Then present your work — because shipping is a skill too.
