Project-Based AI & Robotics · Grades 3–12

Build Real AI & Robotics Projects for Competitions, Research, and College Readiness

AmeriDuo helps students in grades 3–12 learn programming, AI, data science, and robotics — then build real projects they can present, document, and submit to top STEM & AI competitions.

Our students prepare for the top STEM & AI competitions

  • Regeneron ISEF
  • Presidential AI Challenge
  • MIT LaunchX
  • JSHS
  • Congressional App Challenge
  • Conrad Challenge
  • Samsung Solve for Tomorrow

Students don't just take classes. They build real projects.

Every AmeriDuo student finishes their journey with tangible work — code on GitHub, a working prototype, a research report, and a presentation they can show to colleges and competitions.

AI Research Project

Train models on real-world data — health, environment, science — and produce a research-quality report and poster.

AI Web App

Build an AI-powered learning coach, chatbot, or interactive data dashboard that solves a real problem.

Robotics System

Design a sensor-driven or computer-vision robot using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or TinyML edge AI.

Competition Portfolio

Prepare a complete submission — report, poster, slides, presentation — for ISEF, Presidential AI Challenge, USACO, ACSL, and more.

Why parents choose AmeriDuo

A premium project mentorship experience designed for outcomes, not just hours of instruction.

Project-Based Learning

Students build real systems they can present, document, and improve — not just complete worksheets.

Two Specialized Tracks

Students choose software-only AI & Data Science or hands-on AI-Powered Robotics based on interest.

Competition & Portfolio Focus

Projects become reports, posters, GitHub portfolios, and competition entries that strengthen college applications.

Expert Mentor Guidance

Masters and Ph.D. instructors with industry experience provide structured technical feedback every step.

Parent Visibility

Monthly progress updates and clear milestones — you always know what your child is building and why.

Flexible Online Delivery

The AI & Data Science track is fully online. Robotics track combines hardware kits with online mentorship.

Common questions from parents

How is AmeriDuo different from other coding classes?

Most coding classes teach syntax and stop there. AmeriDuo guides students from learning fundamentals to building a real, documented project they can submit to competitions or include in college applications. We focus on outcomes, not just instruction hours.

What if my child has no programming experience?

That's fine. We start every student with the right foundation — Python, data thinking, and project skills — before moving to advanced AI or robotics work. The Project Readiness Assessment helps us match your child to the correct starting point.

How does the 8-month mentorship work?

Students work with an assigned mentor on a personal project over eight months. Each month has a clear milestone — topic selection, prototype, validation, final deliverables. Recorded lessons cover the technical material; weekly meetings provide guidance; monthly reviews ensure quality.

What does it cost?

Mentorship pricing depends on the track and scope of the project. After your Project Readiness Assessment we'll share a tailored quote. Foundation courses use standard per-course pricing through our registration portal.

How do I know which track is right?

That's exactly what the Project Readiness Assessment is for. We evaluate your child's interests, background, and goals, then recommend the AI & Data Science track, the AI-Powered Robotics track, or a foundation course to start with.
