— COMMON QUESTIONS
Still on the fence? Fair enough.
My teen is already doing art classes. Why do they need this?
Most courses teach art techniques. We teach the theory and history behind computer graphics and design, then we explore how to incorporate using AI as a tool.
Does anything currently on your teen's schedule directly prepare them for a creative career with AI?
If not, SOTA will fill that gap.
SOTA includes university level design theory, professional creative process, and AI fluency broken down into consumable, engaging lessons. These concepts are not currently part of any program or school curriculum.
I am not sure I want my teen spending more time with AI.
I understand your reservations but the truth is, your teen is already using AI as a passive consumer.
SOTA teaches creative fundamentals and thinking first, then introduces how to use AI as a professional too inside the creative process, once the fundamentals are solid. Not a shortcut. Not a crutch.
What does SOTA offer that I can't find from YouTube videos or free tutorials?
YouTube gives your teen isolated techniques with no structure, no theory, and no framework.
Shelley is a university trained design and multimedia specialist that has worked in the creative industry for over 25-years. She has taken complex university level concepts, and broken them down into teen-friendly, engaging lessons.
Your teen won't just learn to use a tool. They will learn to think creatively at a professional level and understand the importance of the human input before AI. From initial principles, through to a finished portfolio.
Our schedule is already packed. We can't add anything else.
SOTA is entirely self-paced. No live classes, no fixed schedule, no catch-up pressure. It fits around sport, tutoring, travel and everything else.
"My teen boys went through every SOTA course. Both of them loved it. They said they learned something new on every page - something they thought was really cool. That's the test every piece of content passed before it reached your child."

COURSES WORLD-FIRST CONTENT
My daughter is very focused on this program and is loving the content. Very impressed!
I'm so in love with this course! It is super easy to understand, and has shown me what is possible. Thanks to the SOTA team. Super excited to share this with my grandkids!
I've been using AI image tools for ages but my prompts were always average. After the first few lessons I finally understood what I was doing wrong. My images went from basic to genuinely good which is pretty cool.
I am doing a Creative Arts program next semester at TAFE but Mum wanted me to do this first. I’m learning so much from SOTA. I feel these courses are going to give me an advantage when I start TAFE.
