The next generation is building too

Ahlchemy is a family company, and some of its makers are still in grade school. As part of how we homeschool, our children — ages six to ten — don't just play apps and games; they design and ship their own. They learn to sketch an idea, make it work, test it on the toughest audience in the house, and carry it all the way to something other people can actually use.

We keep these off the main catalog — that side of the site is for the professional work — but we're proud of them, so here's where they live. The kids stay anonymous by design (age range only, no names or photos); what's on display is the work and the learning behind it.

Made by a young maker · age 6–10
