The Code Behind Korra Jr.
Every answer Korra Jr. gives starts as real Python code that students write on the same tool professional engineers use to build real AI systems.
Inside AI Agents
Students build their own AI agent in Python — a system that can understand questions, respond, remember context, and use tools.

Real Outcomes
Students will design and build their own working AI agent, including:
A system that can understand and respond to questions
A conversational interface for natural interaction
Memory to retain context across interactions
Tool usage to perform tasks and retrieve information
By the end of the camp, students will have built a functional AI system they understand and control.
Quick Previews
Watch what kids can really do with AI. Students learn real terminal commands and build Korra Jr., a multi-agent AI system written in Python, the same one your child will build at camp.
An Invitation to Share
Korra Jr. invites you to share Programming Journeys' Summer 2026 Tech Camps with families you know whose children, ages 8 to 14, are interested in programming, networking, robotics, or artificial intelligence.
Have Questions?
Korra Jr. invites parents who still have questions about schedules, pricing, or curriculum to reach out for quick, hassle-free answers. Text or email Programming Journeys for clarity before camp begins.
Camp Preview
In our Korra Jr Mini Camp, students design, build, and program their own AI agent from scratch using Python. They learn how AI thinks, how to give it instructions, and how to make it solve real problems.
Camp Preview
This is not just AI. This is a real multi-agent workflow system where specialized AI agents route messages, solve problems, and generate real code responses.
Camp Preview
Eleven-year-old Sam asks his own Korra Jr AI agent to write the Python code for an 8x8 chess board. Korra Jr generates the code, Sam runs it, and the board appears. This is the AI agent your child builds and programs at our Korra Jr camp.
Camp Preview
Watch Summer create folders, write files, and use terminal commands to organize a real project. Before students write their first line of code, they learn the same tools every real engineer uses, the foundation behind every program built at camp.
Original Productions
We produce all of our own characters, curriculum, and content in-house. Meet Korra, Korra Jr., and the Development Team.
Inside the Curriculum
From room-sized vacuum tubes to the AI we use today. Korra Jr. walks students through five generations of computing innovation.
Inside the Curriculum
The AI learning assistant that guides students as they build real technology with Python, robotics, and AI.
Inside the Curriculum
These are the twelve roles involved in building real software, and the twelve roles students will learn to take on.
Curriculum
Students are introduced to the core ideas behind modern AI systems:
Python programming to build a working AI agent
How different components work together
How AI models process language
How systems generate responses
Real Engineering
Students do not use simplified tools or pre-built apps. They work with real technologies used in modern AI systems, including:
Code
Every answer Korra Jr. gives starts as real Python code that students write on the same tool professional engineers use to build real AI systems.
Logic
Students see the graph that shows how a question is routed through models, memory, and tools. This is the real architecture behind modern AI agents.
Interface
Students ask Korra Jr. a question and get a real AI response — running on the agent they built. The agent searches the web, works with their files, summarizes notes, and explains its own code. Their agent, their questions, their answers.
This is not a chatbot demo — it is a real system built step by step.
The Big Picture
Most students already know how to use AI. They type a prompt and get a response. What very few learn is how to build the system on the other side of that prompt.
Korra Jr. is that system. Students build their own AI agent from scratch in Python. They wire it up to search the web, read files, summarize notes, and explain its own code. The agent answers their questions, with the tools they gave it, running on the laptop in front of them.
Students will leave camp as builders of real AI systems,
not just people who prompt them.
