About

Hi, Bot is a library-meets-clubhouse in Richmond, VA where kids ages 8 to 16 learn AI by building real things — not by sitting through lectures or watching tutorials. Four zones match programs to developmental stage: Spark Lab for ages 8–10 (first exposure, guided projects), Build Studio for 11–13 (deeper builds, team collaboration), Launch Pad for 14–16 (shipping real apps, public portfolios), and The Lab for advanced independent work. Every session runs at a 1:6 mentor-to-student ratio with background-checked staff. Programs include after-school clubs, summer camps, weekend workshops, and birthday parties. Founding memberships start at $150 per month.
