★ ★ For parents of young learners (10–17)
For parents of young learners (10–17).
Most parents land here looking for the same things: is this real, will my kid actually like it, what will they walk out with. Honest answers.
Is my child too young to take an AI class?
Our classes run from age 10. Younger learners are welcome with a parent in the room for the first session. If your child can type and follow a teacher, they can take a Pathwise class.
Does my child need to know how to code first?
No. Pathwise teaches vibe coding — building real software with AI tools, without traditional syntax. Your child describes what they want, the AI writes the code, and they direct, refine, and ship it.
What does my child actually walk out with?
A real, deployed web app on the internet — a URL they can show to grandparents, classmates, or the whole school. Not a worksheet, not a certificate, not a slide deck. The shipped artifact is the point.
Will my child just copy and paste from ChatGPT?
No. We coach taste, judgement, and debugging. Anyone can paste a prompt; the skill is iterating, art-directing, and knowing when the AI is wrong. That's the whole curriculum.
Is this just glorified screen time?
If the class is theory-heavy or chat-heavy, yes. Pathwise classes produce a shipped artifact every session — that's a craft skill being built, the same way drawing or music is.
How many students are in a class?
Public cohorts cap at 10 students. School programs scale from a single class to whole-school hackathons (200–500 students), with multiple mentors.
What does my child need to bring?
A laptop and a charger. We provide everything else — AI tool accounts, dev environments, snacks, and a working setup ready from minute one.
Online or in-person — which is better for younger kids?
Under 14, in-person almost always wins. Over 14, either works depending on the kid. In-person also lets you meet other AI-curious parents — quietly valuable.
How much do AI classes for kids cost in Singapore and Hong Kong?
Online cohorts from SGD 80 (~HKD 470)/session, in-person from SGD 160 (~HKD 940)/session. Holiday camps SGD 600–1,200/week. Below SGD 30/session you're getting volunteer instructors, not working teachers.
Can my child keep what they build?
Yes. The deployed app and the code are theirs. They can keep building, share it with friends, or put it on a portfolio. Their account, their work.
★ ★ For adult learners
For adult learners.
Pathwise adult cohorts are for career-pivoters, founders, marketers, designers, and curious humans. Common questions before signing up.
I haven't coded in years. Is this for me?
Yes. Our adult cohorts are mostly non-engineers — operators, marketers, founders, the occasional doctor. We teach vibe coding, not syntax. If you can describe what you want, you can build it.
Will I build something real, or just learn theory?
You ship something every session. By the end of the cohort you'll have a deployed web app or a working AI workflow that solves a real problem.
How much time do I need per week?
Workshops range from a single half-day to a four-week cohort with ~3 hours per week. We say upfront which format suits which goal.
What tools will I learn?
Claude (and Claude Code), ChatGPT, modern AI design tools (Figma + AI, Midjourney), deployment platforms. The same stack working professionals actually use day-to-day.
Is there an adult-only cohort?
Yes — adult cohorts run separately from young-learner classes. Same teacher-led format, different pace and content.
★ ★ For schools
For schools.
Heads of department, IT leads, and principals plan AI programs differently. The questions that come up most.
Can you run an AI program at our Singapore or Hong Kong school?
Yes. Full-school hackathons (200–500 students), weekly afterschool classes, weekend programs, and term-break holiday camps. We bring curriculum, mentors, and tools; you provide the room and the students.
What ages do school programs cover?
Primary (10+) and secondary (11–17). Curriculum is adapted per age group — younger learners do guided builds, older students take on more open-ended projects.
How long is a typical school hackathon?
Usually a single build day (6–8 hours) or a weekend (2 days). For weekly programs we run 1.5–2 hours per session across 4–8 weeks.
What does the school provide vs what does Pathwise bring?
Pathwise brings: full curriculum, lead instructor, mentors, AI tool accounts, deploy targets, post-event recap materials. School provides: the room, the students, basic AV (projector + screen). Laptops are usually student-supplied; we can advise on lab use.
How far in advance do we need to book?
8–12 weeks is comfortable. We can sometimes accommodate faster turnarounds for single-class sessions. Holiday camps and hackathons book up earliest.
★ ★ For companies
For companies.
Corporate workshops for marketing, ops, sales, and leadership teams. Common questions from L&D leads and team managers.
How long is a typical workshop?
From half-day primers (~4 hours) to full days to weekend intensives. Most popular: a full day with mixed seniority in the room. We'll suggest a format on the discovery call based on your goal.
How many people can attend?
Sweet spot is 8–20 per room — small enough that everyone ships something, big enough to bounce ideas. For larger orgs we run parallel sessions with multiple mentors.
On-site at our Singapore or Hong Kong office, or online?
Either. On-site works best for energy and serendipity; online works if your team is distributed. We've delivered both formats across Singapore, Hong Kong, and APAC.
What will my team walk out with?
A real, working artefact — not a slide deck. Depending on the workshop: an MVP web app, a working automation, a redesigned campaign, a launched AI agent.
Can it be customized to our industry or use case?
Yes — every workshop is scoped around what your team actually wants to build. We'll review your domain on the discovery call and tailor exercises and examples accordingly.
