Foundation¥1,500¥500Building it: it runs, it installs on a phone, your classmates can use it. Finish it and another ¥1,000 voucher follows, for the advanced course
Advanced¥2,500¥1,500Building it well: product planning, data design, getting listed, iterating, with one-to-one business advice

Finish the foundation course and another ¥1,000 voucher follows, for the advanced one — which again comes to ¥1,500. Which is to say: starting with the foundation course costs you nothing extra, it only adds a course.

Why not ¥99 · those courses sell video, we sell an engineer's time

There are ¥99 and ¥199 Vibe Coding courses out there. If you only want to understand what it is, those are plenty, and we are not going to talk you into this one.

But if your goal is to actually build an app someone can use, what stops you is never the concept. It is setting up an environment and shipping it.

About 10 hours of human workper student, one to one, from a resident engineer. That cost cannot be compressed and no recording spreads it out.

We host it for youYou log in remotely and never maintain anything. Especially suited to Chinese families overseas.

Choosing and building a machineIf you do need an AI workstation, we help you pick the parts and compare prices.

All of it is included in the course fee. None of it is billed separately.

Projects on the first course · what you will have built

None of these is an exercise — when it is finished you can install it on a phone, for your own child and for other people's.

Line-art sticker app · for 2–6 year olds who like to draw

A child photographs an animal outdoors, the picture goes up to a cloud model, and back comes a black-and-white line drawing of that animal and the place it was in. Print the drawing onto sticker paper, the child colours it in, peels it off and puts it anywhere. If there is no sticker printer at home, a partner can print them and post them back.

What the glasses are here is a springboard for a 2–6 year old's imagination. Size S also fits the older end of that range.

My photo, my story

This is not an app where AI tells a child a story. It is an app that records the child's own imagination. When they see an interesting person, animal or view, they take the photograph and start recording offline at the same moment, binding their story to the picture for good.

AI only sorts, transcribes, writes titles and assembles the storybook. It does not make the content for the child. Years later, opening that photograph, you still hear the child they were at that age telling it — every photograph really does end up with a voice and a memory of its own.

My day

The glasses catch the good moments of a child's day, from breakfast and school and sport through to travel and time at home. Each evening the child picks the few pictures that meant something, says a little about what happened, and the app turns it into a diary entry.

What it keeps is not only photographs: it is the real experience, mood and growth of each day. A few years on, it is a whole memoir.

Timed-frame shorts

With timed frames switched on, the glasses take one photograph every three seconds: twenty a minute, two hundred in ten minutes, and then a smooth short film is assembled from them.

Building with LEGO, drawing, science experiments, baking a cake, a plant growing — all of it records; so do the moments in travel, sport and ordinary life. An unremarkable little thing becomes an inventive short video.

Voice notes on the go

An idea often lasts a few seconds. The glasses record offline, so whatever it is — an idea, a class note, an interview, something to do later — you just say it. Back in the app, AI transcribes it, pulls out what matters, writes a summary and builds a personal knowledge base.

No flash of an idea is lost easily, and a child grows up in the habit of recording and organising what they know.

The album keeper

As the photographs pile up, the app sorts, files and searches them. People, pets, food, school, travel and sport are tagged automatically, and search is in plain language — "find the ginger cat from last summer", "find every photo of me playing football".

It is not only a clever album. It is a picture library that helps a child manage the memory of their own growing up.

My drinks diary

Plenty of children drink something sweet every day and never really see the habit they have built up. Photograph the drink, and the app records what was drunk and how much, and over time writes a report on that child's own drinking habits.

It does not scold the child and it does not ask them to diet. It just helps them build an awareness of health, slowly, and understand the choices they make.

Sugar detective

Nutrition, learned the way a game is played. In a supermarket, a corner shop or at home, the child photographs the nutrition label on a package and AI reads out what matters, helping them see how one drink or snack differs from another.

The aim is the ability to read a label on their own initiative, understand what food is made of and build healthy buying habits — not simply being told what they may and may not eat.

The glasses · once you finish, you can write apps for them

The MYSK platform is open and open source, with an SDK for the camera and the recorder in the glasses.

A parent can write an app for one specific thing their own child needs, and a child can write one too. Children know best what their classmates and friends want, and no grown-up product manager beats them at that.

Once it exists it does not belong to your household alone — wherever the glasses go, the app has a chance of going too. The few hundred seed users that make a cold start so hard are not a problem here.

We review every app that enters the ecosystem before it is listed, and the children's tier most carefully of all.

Questions about the course · short answers

How do I get the ¥1,000 voucher?

Everyone who buys a size S at launch gets one. There is nothing to do: we send it to you after your order.

What can I spend it on?

Courses at Interstellar Blank's Vibe Coder Academy. It works on the foundation course and on the advanced one, one voucher per course.

Why is there another ¥1,000 after the foundation course?

Because we want you to actually finish the foundation course rather than buy it and leave it. When you do, you get another ¥1,000, and the advanced course then costs ¥1,500 — the same as putting your first voucher straight into the advanced course. The difference is that you also did the foundation course, and that one cost ¥500.

There are ¥99 and ¥199 vibe coding courses. Why is yours ¥1,500?

Because those courses sell video and we sell a resident engineer's time.

Averaged across students it comes to about 10 hours of human work each — your machine, your environment, remote support, and every place you get stuck worked through one at a time. That cost cannot be compressed, and no recording spreads it out.

If you only want to understand what vibe coding is, a ¥99 course is plenty and we are not going to talk you into this one. But if your goal is to actually build an app someone can use, what stops you is never the concept. It is setting up an environment and shipping it.

What if I cannot set up the computer?

Three ways, all included in the course fee and none of them billed separately:

One, we set it up remotely. You share your screen and we install the environment for you.

Two, you send us the machine. Post the computer to us, we set it up and post it back.

Three, we host it for you. You log in remotely and never maintain anything. This one suits Chinese families overseas especially — nobody should spend a fortnight getting an environment to run.

Should I buy a new computer?

Not yet. We will look at the machine you already have and tell you whether it is enough, at no charge; and if you really do need an AI workstation, we help you pick the parts and compare prices. That is in the course fee too.

Can a child take it?

Yes. The youngest student we have taught was in the last years of primary school.

A child's advantage is that they are not afraid to get it wrong. Their disadvantage is that setting up an environment will put them off entirely — which is exactly the part a resident engineer is there to carry for them.

What is the difference between the two courses?

The foundation course is about building it: it runs, it installs on a phone, your classmates can use it.

The advanced course is about building it well: how to plan a product, how to design your data, how to get it listed, how to keep improving it. A good deal of it is business advice and design planning, and that part is one to one.

How is the course related to MYSK?

Interstellar Blank is an ecosystem partner of MYSK, and the course is provided and delivered by Interstellar Blank.

What MYSK provides is the ¥1,000 voucher, and the SDK for the camera and the recorder in the glasses.
