Demo Day: kids present their AI projects startup-style

March 27. Torre Juana, Alicante's AI hub. Kids stood up in front of their parents and demoed working apps and games they'd built with AI. Five sessions. Zero prior experience.

Some of them had never used a computer before this program.

The projects

Grandpa Joe

Santi's Grandpa Joe is a reverse Turing test. An AI character decides whether you're human or AI. Suspicion meter ticking up, timer counting down, a grumpy old man to convince. He came up with the character, the mechanics, the personality — all of it.

Desktop Escape

Leo's Desktop Escape drops you on a fake desktop and dares you to get out. Folders, apps, hidden clues — click around to figure out what opens what, which puzzles unlock which, and how it all connects. He designed the whole puzzle chain himself.

Dragon Flap!

Isaac and Marcos built Dragon Flap! — fly your dragon, dodge obstacles, collect coins, unlock new dragons and power-ups. Customization, progression, the works. They kept working on it outside class, thinking up new details at school in their free time.

El Remix

Erin's El Remix is an interactive magazine about sports and culture — articles, games, quizzes, video links. Table of contents, sections, feature stories about El Clásico. She built the whole editorial layout.

Plush Studio

Lara made Plush Studio — pick a plushie, build it, sell it in your shop. Animals, food characters, accessories. She kept refining the art until the look matched what she had in her head.

Escape Osos

Sofia's Escape de los Osos is a strategy puzzle game — levels get harder, special seasons to unlock, power-ups along the way. Beware the bears.

Matteo's Game of Football

Matteo built Game of Football — pick La Liga, Premier League, Serie A, Champions League, Copa del Rey, even the World Cup, and play matches with real teams. He wanted his own football game. Now he has one with six leagues.

Demo Day

Kids were nervous and excited. Parents filled the 17th-century bodega at Torre Juana, sitting under the stone arches while their kids took turns at the projector.

Each kid told the story of what they built and why, then showed it live. Parents cheered at games, asked questions, tried the apps themselves. Kids cheered each other on. It felt like a startup demo night, not a school presentation.

For the kids, it was a chance to practice something most adults struggle with: standing up and telling a room full of people about something you made.

From the parents

“In just a few weeks, they went from not knowing how to use a computer to creating their own games and digital projects. This course gave them confidence, creativity, and a desire to keep learning.

“The kids are getting a proper introduction to AI with guidance and sensibility.

The May cohort is now in session and full. Next session: July Summer Camp — reserve a spot. Every project above is live — try them yourself.
