Internal vision board · Dwight + Forge
The full build map for 1stgraid.
This is the engineering and product working file: promise, tracks, mentor doctrine, curriculum scaffolding, tech stack, roadmap, and monetization. Everything below is in-progress thinking — not customer-facing yet.
Kid magic, parent confidence
The product has to feel exciting to an 8-12 year old and serious enough for a parent to pay for.
One hidden skill
Every track teaches effective AI communication: context, constraints, examples, revision, and taste.
Daily artifacts
Each lesson produces something saved to the Capstone Locker, so the final project is assembled, not crammed.
AI Teacher with guardrails
The teacher guides, quizzes, and nudges. It does not replace the kid's choices or claim the work for them.
One eyebrow-raising ship
The six-week promise is one credible, demo-ready deliverable that makes a parent say, "My kid made that?"
MVP focus
Track A Week 1 first, then stay one week ahead.
The June 6, 2026 alpha target is Dwight’s 10-year-old son. The summer plan is to ship the Creator path first, learn from a real kid, and expand the platform from there.
