City of Miramar — Miramar Proud
Prepared for the City of Miramar by MetAiBlock · May 2026

Two summer AI programs for Miramar — what we're proposing.

A practical scope and decision document for the City. Below is what each program is, who it's for, when it runs, and what kids walk away with — at a glance.

Program A
Ages 7–12

YEC AI Track

  • Embedded inside Youth Enrichment Camp
  • 1 hour/day, 4 days/week, all 6 weeks
  • Cohort weeks: storybook, song, short film
  • Two MetAiBlock instructors lead sessions
Program B
Ages 13–15

AI Boot Camp

  • Standalone full-day intensive
  • Mon–Fri, 9am–3pm, 6 weekly cohorts
  • 10–12 teens per cohort
  • Each teen ships a real project on Friday

The opportunity

From scrambling-for-summer to first AI city in Broward

A clear, binary contrast — pulled from facts already in this proposal.

×Today
  • Parents scramble for summer options ~10 days before school ends.
  • Comparable AI camps run $900–$3,000/week — out of reach for most families.
  • Only ~2 comparable kids' AI programs in all of South Florida.
  • No Broward city is running a kids' AI program.
  • Teens 13–15 are too young to work and have few structured options.
✓After — Miramar leads
  • First city in Broward County to run a kids' AI summer program.
  • Certified, background-checked teachers in 1:5–1:7 small groups.
  • Two programs: AI inside the YEC day (6–12) + a teen AI Academy (13–15).
  • Every cohort ships a real artifact — storybook, song, film, game, or site.
  • A summer-long showcase the city can publicize as proof of being future-forward.

For the kids

Pride, confidence, a real artifact with their name on it — not screen time.

For the parents

A safe, supervised place where their kids actually learn something — and they can see proof.

For the city

Tangible, publishable evidence that Miramar is investing in its young people and leading on AI.

Executive summary

Two programs. One trusted backbone. A summer the city can show off.

Program A

YEC Track · ages 6–12

Plugs into the city's already-funded YEC summer day program. ~12 kids per cohort rotate through a one-week AI block — 3 mornings — and ship one finished creative project together.

Program B

AI Academy · ages 13–15

A standalone full-day intensive, 9–3, Mon–Fri. Each teen picks a track Monday and ships a real project Friday — game, song, story, site, or app — and presents to parents.

The shared backbone

Curriculum, tools, certified teachers — and safety as the first principle.

MetAiBlock builds and trains. Daily reports back to the city. A summer-long showcase the city can publicize.

A real gap

Only ~2 comparable kids' AI programs in all of South Florida. No Broward city is doing this.

Proven demand

Comparable AI camps run $900–$3,000/week. Parents pay it. We deliver real quality at a fraction.

Brand fit

A kids' AI program is the most visible, most relatable expression of a future-forward Miramar.

Parent need

Summer arrives in days. Parents want more than daycare — somewhere safe where kids actually learn.

Two programs · one backbone

Program A — YEC Track · Program B — AI Academy

Two distinct programs with separate audiences, formats, and funding — running in parallel on the same MetAiBlock curriculum and trained-instructor pool.

Program AAges 6–12

YEC Track

Plugs into the city's already-funded Youth Education Center summer program. Kids rotate through a one-week AI experience and leave with one finished creative project.

Program BAges 13–15

AI Academy

A standalone full-day intensive for teens. Each cohort spends a week building a real AI project — and presents it Friday to parents.

What kids actually make

From a kid's idea to a real, finished thing

A storybook. A song. A short film. A game. The throughline of every cohort: take a kid's imagination and bring it to life with AI.

The idea

A 9-year-old says: "a brave star-fox who saves a flooded city."

The artifact
Storybook week — printed cohort storybook
Song week — one original song
Movie week — one short film
Storybook week

The cohort invents a world; instructor shapes the story live; kids generate art on kid-safe tools. We assemble a printed cohort storybook.

Song week

Instructor runs Suno on the big screen; the room votes on prompt and lyrics. The cohort produces one original song.

Movie week

Kids storyboard on paper; instructor brings it to life with video AI. The cohort produces one short film.

Reporting · showcase · IP

Daily proof. Weekly mini-showcases. One end-of-summer moment.

Daily report to the city

Attendance plus what each cohort created that day. The running record of output — not weekly.

Friday mini-showcases (Program B)

Each cohort presents to their parents Friday afternoon. A built-in, weekly proof point.

End-of-summer showcase

Storybooks, songs, films, games, sites — the city's tangible PR moment for a future-forward summer.

Deliverable philosophy

Real output, not screen time.

  • ✓ For the kids — pride, confidence, a real artifact.
  • ✓ For the parents — visible proof their time bought something.
  • ✓ For the city — publishable evidence of investment in young people.
Intellectual property

MetAiBlock retains the curriculum and SOPs. The city receives a limited license to deliver while engaged.

Every instructor — ours or the city's — signs an NDA + non-compete. Standard, plainly framed protection so there are no surprises later.

Safety first

Designed around the law, not around it

Most frontier AI tools legally block under-13s under COPPA — the U.S. law on kids' online data. We built around that with a two-part model.

Instructor-mediated

Frontier tools on the big screen

The certified adult operates the tool. Kids never log into a restricted tool — they direct it with their ideas and watch them come to life.

Hands-on

Only kid-built, COPPA/kidSAFE-compliant tools

ChatKids, Askie, Buddy.ai, Scratch, Code.org, Roblox Studio, Quick Draw, Chrome Music Lab — built for kids, supervised, age-appropriate.

Three parties protected at once
✓ The kids — age-appropriate, supervised.
✓ The city — no compliance exposure.
✓ The tool providers — no underage misuse.

Content filtering

On every device a kid touches.

Data-handling policy

Storage, retention, ownership of student prompts and outputs.

AI literacy, day one

AI is a tool — not a friend, therapist, or doctor. Fact-check it. Use it to amplify your own thinking.

Additional-needs support

Smaller groups suit kids with autism well. Flag needs early — we prepare and can add support staff.

Staffing · certification · ratios

Certified teachers. Real background checks. Small groups.

The headline parents care about: who's teaching my kid? Lead instructors are certified teachers (Broward preferred; Dade-certified also). Every adult on-site is Level 2 cleared.

Timeline

From verbal yes to summer showcase

The path is short — and every step is sequenced around the only hard constraint: the multi-week background-check lead time.

1
Week of May 26
Proposal review with city

Lock numbers, dates, teacher sourcing, and the open items.

2
On verbal yes
Vendor registration + background checks begin

MetAiBlock receives a city vendor number. Level 2 (FDLE + FBI) starts immediately for new hires — multi-week lead time.

3
~1 week before each program
Marketing runway

City pushes flyers to schools, the two teen councils (~24 students), and Renaissance.

4
Before each program
Parent orientation

Short in-person or Zoom Q&A so parents meet the team and ask questions.

5
Mid–late June 2026
Program A — YEC Track starts

Plugs into a program that already exists and is already funded — fastest path to launch.

6
Early–mid July 2026
Program B — AI Academy starts

July gives marketing runway and background-check headroom; lines up as 'back-to-school' framing.

7
August 2026
End-of-summer showcase

The city's tangible PR moment — a future-forward city showing the real things its young people built.

Investment

Two programs, priced separately

These are two distinct programs with two different funding paths, so we've priced them separately. The City can approve, fund, and run each one on its own. We train all four instructors together in a single week — one efficient training, not two — so that cost is shared evenly across the programs, not billed twice.

Bring-your-own-teachers option

If the City supplies its own vetted, available teachers, lines 3 and 4 come straight off. MetAiBlock still trains them — line 2 stays.

BYO teachers: OFF
Program A · YEC Trackages 6–12
