AI Tutoring

Your child learns how AI works, trains an image classifier, writes good prompts, spots AI mistakes and uses AI to help tell stories.

​

Tools: HeyOtto, Teachable Machine, AutoDraw

VR Tutoring

Your child designs and codes VR worlds: 3D spaces, lighting, movement and puzzles. A headset is useful but not needed.

Tools: Delightex

Not sure which to choose? We can mix them

Many children like more than one of these subjects. You do not have to pick one. We can build a pathway that combines AI, VR and game design, based on what your child enjoys and what they want to learn.

Jack Hally

VR, AI & Creative Coding Educator

I believe every child deserves the opportunity to express their creativity, especially through emerging computational art technologies. Understanding creative computing is crucial — not just as an artistic tool but as a lens through which they can engage with the digital world around them!

Zuzanna Suchon

VR, AI & Creative Coding Educator

I encourage the children to be inquisitive, creative and problem solve as they develop their projects which empowers them to code, build, have an impact and realise they are not just on the receiving end of tech- they are also the makers.

Hugo Lami Pereira

VR & Creative Coding Educator

TRUMPET

I’ve always been fascinated by how digital tools can expand creative possibilities, and I saw an opportunity to help younger generations navigate and harness these technologies in meaningful ways. As I explored AR, VR, and 3D modeling, I realised how powerful these tools could be for creative expression and problem-solving

Aaron Devine

Robotics Educator

TRUMPET

I have a BSc in Biomedical Sciences and I trained as an actor at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, bringing both the scientific and the creative side of that background into the classroom. I believe the best learning happens when children are given room to experiment, get things wrong, and build something of their own.

VR & Creative Coding Tutor

TRUMPET

I have a background in creative coding, I studied multimedia and worked as an interaction designer for over a decade before moving into education. In my work there has always been a mix of art and technology. After training to teach secondary computer science the huge lack of creativity in the national curriculum became apparent.

I would describe my teaching style as calm and approachable. I like to create a learning environment where students feel able to give everything a try without fear of being 'wrong'. My aim is that everyone leaves the class having learnt something new and had fun.

Reviews

What children and parents say about our tutoring sessions

"My son wanted to start creating with AI, but it was a little frustrating for him to learn it since YouTube videos are for adults mostly. But luckily, we found Building Imagination. After a few sessions, Ollie started to create consistent illustrations for his comic book. He can't wait for his next weekly session."

Parent of Petter, 12 years old

"My daughter made a 3D model from scratch using one of the tools and was so pleased with herself. It wasn't just clicking buttons either, she could tell me why she'd written the prompt the way she did. Nice to see her making something rather than just consuming"

Sarah M.

Parent of Ella, 10 years old

"I am so glad I found Building Imagination. We started with the game design sessions and are now doing some of the AI classes. I can truly see how happy and enthusiastic my son is about his lessons. More importantly, I can see his progress and the brilliant little things he creates. Thanks for all your hard work"
