Kids Wholistic Creativity & STEM
Three times a week, sixty minutes, a small group practises drawing, journaling, and one STEM concept taught back in their own words, using nothing but pen and paper. These are the skills that let them think, remember and say what matters to them, and we celebrate what each child creates rather than comparing them to anyone else.
The sixty minutes
The same shape every session, so children know exactly what to expect and can settle quickly.
min
Arrival: breathing and short meditation
We arrive, settle, and put the rest of the day down. Breathwork and a short meditation, drawn from the practices executive coaches teach to millionaires, to bring attention into the room. This is also when we talk about why speaking, writing and the quality of your ideas are worth practising at all.
min
Stretching and movement
Yoga stretches, warrior pose, the kung fu attention pose, and a short standing workout. This wakes up the body, builds self-regulation and concentration, and releases excess nervous energy before we sit down to work.
min
Assignment 1: free drawing
One prompt, then free drawing led entirely by their own imagination. Nothing has been taught yet and there is nothing to copy. This is an exercise in imagination, not an explanation of anything. There is no wrong drawing, and the youngest children start wherever they are.
min
Assignment 2: expressive writing
An expressive writing and journaling exercise. Still not ideas, but experience: their imagination, something they remember, something they felt in their senses. Related to the day’s concept, never an explanation of it. Children who cannot yet write put down one letter or one word. Older children write full sentences.
min
The STEM concept
One new concept, for example AI, computers or blockchain, explained three ways in the same room: a version for a three-year-old, a version for a seven-year-old, and a version for a twelve-year-old. The course page carries an infographic for each age, three deeper paragraphs, and a short history of the idea.
min
Assignment 3: teach it back
Now they use their creativity and imagination to understand the idea, and then to communicate and express it: one page of drawing and writing that teaches the concept to somebody their own age. A twelve-year-old fills a page that would teach another twelve-year-old. A child who cannot write yet uses a drawing and a single letter or word. As they finish, each child can record a short video showing their drawings, their journaling and their explanation. Explaining it is how we know it landed.
What this is for
Our goal is to give your child armor to go out into the world and succeed. That armor is their ability to speak, their ability to write, and their ability to generate and refine their own ideas.
Patrick Winston, who ran the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, put the formula plainly. How far those abilities take you is knowledge times practice times talent. K times P times T. Two of those three are things you can actually work on, so that is what we do here: we give them the time to practise, in a group.
How we practise it
We exercise imagination first, through drawing. Then we share with the group what we drew, and we record a short video.
Then we journal. A written entry about something related to the day’s concept, and again we share it with the group.
Then we learn one STEM concept, and they teach it back and present it to the group.
At the end everyone walks away with a short video, a memento the parents and the child keep, to look back on and see their progress.
We do not critique. We celebrate their creativity, their imagination, their curiosity, and their effort.
Points
Finish all three assignments in a class and your child earns one point. Ten points can be exchanged for any one of these.
Five minutes flying a drone
Your child takes the controls and flies it themselves, with me beside them.
Five minutes on Oculus Quest 3
Playtime inside a game on the headset.
Five minutes on Apple Vision Pro
A mixed-reality experience on the headset.
Five minutes programming the friendly AI robot
Your child programs Friendly M Helper alongside me, and we record the demo they built.
Every reward is five minutes of real hands-on time on one of these technologies, and nobody leaves with only the memory. We film it, and at the end your child gets a thirty to sixty second video of themselves using it: flying the drone, inside the headset, or the demo they programmed on the robot. Photos from the session come with it, and the drone lesson also includes the aerial footage the drone shot itself. It is theirs, to keep and to share with their friends and family. Nothing is published anywhere; it is handed to you.
What’s included
- A notebook of their own: Theirs to keep. They bring it back each session, and the work compounds: each class builds on the last. Pens and pencils are part of the class and stay in the room.
- Kids and parents dashboard: The full digital course, with every lesson and prompt, plus your child’s own quiz scores and answers. You can see exactly what was covered and pick the thread up at home. See the course
- Argo Private AI Journal, two subscriptions: One month included with the monthly plan: an account for your child and an account for you. A private, AI-powered place to write, think and be asked good questions by an AI that only you can see. Speaking and writing are the two skills this class is built around, and this is where they get practised the other four days of the week. See the journal
- Lifetime membership of the Argo community: The Argo subscription mints a membership NFT: a lifetime membership of the Argo high-alignment community and network state. While the subscription is active it also opens the community Telegram, where you connect and coordinate with other Argonauts, global travellers, creative technologists and innovators. What holds the community together is a shared practice: our weapon is the ability to speak, to write, and to generate and develop ideas. That is what we train here, in the AI Power Users class, and in the journal itself.
- Friendly M Helper: Our robot assistant, in every session. More on him below.
- A short video of their work: In every class your child can optionally record a short video showing their drawings, their journaling and their explanation of the concept. An AI agent edits it and it comes back to you.
In the room with us
Friendly M Helper
A real robot the children can talk to, and the most direct way to teach them what AI actually is.
Friendly M Helper is a Reachy Mini, an open robot from Hugging Face. He sees, hears and responds. Children ask him about the day’s lesson, or about anything at all, and he answers them directly.
He has a consistent personality and a memory. He remembers the children between sessions, and they get to know him over the twelve classes the way they’d get to know any other member of the group.
Rather than talking about artificial intelligence and robotics in the abstract, the children learn it by interacting with it, asking, testing, being surprised, and figuring out where the edges are. It is the same principle as the rest of the class: understand it well enough to explain it.
Choosing a plan
Two options, nothing else to work out. The class runs three times a week, so the monthly rate is where most families land: it pays for itself at seven visits out of twelve.
One session. Good for a first visit or an occasional week.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for a calendar month. Twelve classes, twelve concepts.
How it works, plainly
Payment is for the month ahead, collected at the last class of the previous month.
Unused sessions never expire while you’re enrolled. If I ever cancel a class, your month is extended by that class.
Going travelling? Tell me before you go and I’ll pause your month. When you are back, it resumes for the same number of days you missed.
Months are not refunded, but nobody loses money either.
Paying
Whichever is easiest for you. I’ll send a link or details for any of these.
Everything runs through the portal
Your subscription is managed entirely through the web portal at myargoquest.com/courses. You start it, pause it and cancel it there yourself, and every lesson, prompt and quiz score sits in the same place.
You can also opt in to a personalised report on your child’s activity and progress, written by Friendly M Helper from what he sees in class and what your child submits. It arrives through the portal, it is private to your family, and you can turn it off at any time.
Every twelve classes
The book
Every twelve classes becomes a book your child keeps.
August 2026 Core Skills: Kids Wholistic Creativity and STEM Class, Book size and format, with content drawn from every session.
Each class gets its own spread. On one page, the three graphics that explain the concept: one pitched for a three-year-old, one for a seven-year-old, one for a twelve-year-old. Facing it, three infographics the children made explaining the very same idea. Also included: an optional group photo and a photo scrapbook page from the class.
The digital edition is included
Every enrolled family receives the complete book as a digital edition on the dashboard, included with enrolment. Nothing about the book sits behind an extra payment.
The printed copy is optional: RM 100
A physical full-colour book. Collect it from me in person at no extra cost, or have it shipped to you for the cost of shipping. Ordered at the end of the twelve classes and printed only to order, nothing is printed unless a family asks for it.
Group and scrapbook photos are included only with your written consent, and any child can be left out at your request with no effect on anything else.
Privacy
Your child’s privacy
Friendly M Helper hears and sees the children, and the class produces drawings, writing and quiz answers. Here is exactly what happens to all of it.
- Everything is stored privately: Class information, images and audio recordings are kept in private storage tied to your family’s account.
- Nothing is made public: No recording, photo or piece of your child’s work is published, posted, shared or used for marketing.
- Photos are opt-in: Group photos and scrapbook pages require your written consent, and consent can be withdrawn at any time.
- Ask me anything about it: I’ll show you what’s stored for your child, and remove any of it on request.
Who teaches it
Konrad Gnat
Konrad learned how to teach from his mother, a career teacher. Before moving into engineering he taught Chemistry to students, and he holds a bachelor’s degree in Polish Studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
He has been a software engineer for the past ten years, building web applications at fintech SaaS companies at $50 million in revenue, and at crypto DeFi startups holding $500 million in total value locked. He has spoken at Ethereum conferences including Devconnect in Buenos Aires, and won prizes at hackathons including ETHTokyo, AGI House in Silicon Valley, ETHVietnam and ETHNYC.
Today he is the founder of Argo, a private AI journaling app, teaches AI agents to a global audience, and speaks at and organises conferences and network state events.
This class is about cultivating the core skills of drawing, writing, expressive writing, creativity, communication, these are core skills that people like Da Vinci, Marcus Aurelius, and Steve Jobs all had in common, they were able to use creativity and technology together, to push humanity forward. In this class we train these skills in ourselves, starting with mindfulness, breathing, yoga and a quick exercise, that teach self regulation and help deepen ability to concentrate. The AI robot assistant is present, to allow us to carefully introduce new teaching technologies.
Come and see
The goal is that they enjoy this. That drawing, journaling, writing and learning become things they choose to practise, not things they are made to do. Along the way, they come to know the value of drawing, writing, and their uniqueness, and have learned the joy of creativity and the power of their imagination. These skills are fundamental to serve them through young adulthood and adulthood. It prepares them for a great life ahead, and it gives them what they need to actualize their potential.
