Creativity & AI · Ages 9–14

Creativity
and AI Agency.
That's the work.

Why this matters.

Kids are going to grow up with AI. The question isn't whether they'll use it. The question is whether they'll lead it, or it'll lead them.

When imagination leads — remarkable. When technology leads — you are the machine. We teach them the first.

The arc — a new project every month
01
Dream
Dream it up
Paper. Pens. Drawing. Sticky notes. Kids think first — on their own. Then they bring the idea to AI to shape and name it.
→
02
Face
Give it a face
Kids sketch their logo first — on paper. Then ask AI for versions, compare, remix. The taste comes from them.
→
03
Story
Tell the story
Storyboard with markers. Write the script by hand. Then use AI for visuals, sound, and cutting it into 60 seconds.
→
04
Make
Make it real
They draw what they want on paper. Then describe it to AI in their own words. AI writes the code. They see it come alive.
→
05
Show
Show it off
They show what they made. The group reacts. They reflect — what they made, what AI helped with, what was theirs.
What this is

Each session, Sara introduces one AI tool or idea. Kids try it immediately — on their own project, the one they're building across the month. Rough is fine. Unfinished is fine. Showing the group what you made is where the learning lives.

Why it works

Kids already have the instinct. They try, break, fix. What they need is someone who gives them AI with intention and context — not a free-for-all. Sara's role: keep them curious, critical, and in charge of the technology. Not the other way around.

Every session — same rhythm
Act 1
Watch this.
25 min
Sara introduces one tool or idea. Shows how it works. Kids watch, ask questions, get ready to try.
Act 2
Make yours.
35 min
Kids open their project and try the new thing. Sara coaches one-on-one. This is where they really build.
Act 3
Show & learn.
30 min
Each kid shows what they made. The group reacts. Questions. Ideas. Learning happens between kids too.
Between
Playground.
No AI at home
Kids continue on the Playground at home. No AI tools — just space to plan, reflect, and get ready for next class.
Lemonade Playground

The Playground has no AI tools. On purpose. AI happens in class, with Sara, with intention. At home, the Playground is where kids plan, reflect, journal, and get ready for next class.

We don't want kids addicted to AI. We want them curious about what they're building — and in charge of it.

Sara Bunge — Counselor & Teacher

Sara graduated from Loyola Marymount with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts and a Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential. She's the Math Intervention Specialist at Ocean Charter School, teaches theatre, and leads math tutoring programs at Wish Charter School.

She believes cultivating creativity and curiosity through the lens of technology and AI is crucial for people of all ages. Sara leads every Creativity & AI session — she's the adult in the room who makes sure AI serves the kids, not the other way around.

Bob Wollheim — Founder, AI Lemonade Stand

I build with AI every day. Sites, tools, products, content. Not because it's my job, because it's how I learn. I'm also a Partner at CI&T, a publicly traded AI company, but this program isn't that. This is my weekend practice.

AI Lemonade Stand was co-founded with educator Sina Monjazeb. The bet we're making is simple: the people who do best in this shift won't be the most technical. They'll be the most human.
