Alpha Austin · Afternoon Workshops
See exactly what your child will build at Alpha Austin
Every afternoon at Alpha Austin pairs two hands-on workshops. Pick your child's grade band and week to preview the exact lineup.
Fear Factor
Your child faces a progressive series of sensory challenges all week: mystery texture stations, blindfolded sensory bins, oobleck, slime, and a Fear Buster Obstacle Course. Each child creates a personal Fear Monster (an AI-generated image of their inner anxiety) that they hold up and “talk back to” before each challenge.
Friday Showcase
Friday, parents act as recruits while their child runs the full course plus a surprise sixth station, narrating every step.
AI Storybook Authors
Your child authors an original 4-page storybook by developing a character, a problem, and an ending. The guide runs the AI tools; your child dictates, rejects options, and directs the illustrations.
Friday Showcase
Friday they read their professionally printed Mixbook hardcover aloud to you, holding up the original AI image versus the final illustration and explaining what was wrong with the first one.
Alpha Austin · Daily Schedule
Academics in the morning.
Workshops all afternoon.
Friday
Morning academics run as usual. In the afternoon, workshops give way to the end-of-week showcase — where your child presents what they built to an audience of families and guides. Pickup is still at 4:00 pm.
Pricing & Enrollment
Choose one week to know.Or stay for the month and go deeper.
Once you understand the workshop experience and the academic proof, pricing should feel straightforward. Start with one week if you want a clear answer fast, or choose the month if you want your child to build more, go further, and leave with even more momentum.
Most families start here
Alpha Experience is the fastest path to clarity. Alpha Transform is for families who already know they want a deeper version of the same experience.
How to choose
Start with the question your family wants answered.
One week
Best if you want a fast, high-confidence answer about fit.
One month
Best if you already know you want depth, repetition, and a bigger build.
Either way
You still get the same Alpha guides, same workshop energy, and same academic model.

“To see this type of growth in a year in a traditional school setting is impressive. To see this type of growth in 30 days... it's such a significant change in such a short period of time that it's really mind-blowing. That's just not the traditional school way.”
