Ulamaify Creator League

A Year of Projects, Challenges, Tournaments, and Meaningful Growth

The Ulamaify Creator League is a year-round community where young learners challenge themselves, celebrate their progress, meet other students, and discover new interests.

Members begin with exciting Chess activities and, as Ulamaify’s programs grow, gain opportunities to participate in coding, Minecraft Education, artificial intelligence, design, and other creative technology experiences.

This is more than a membership. It is a place for children to keep learning, creating, competing, and belonging.

Annual Membership: $30 per student

More Than a Class

Classes help children build skills. The Creator League gives them opportunities to use those skills.

Throughout the year, members can participate in age-appropriate challenges, friendly competitions, collaborative activities, and special events designed to build:

• Confidence through visible progress
• Creative and strategic thinking
• Problem-solving skills
• Healthy competition and sportsmanship
• Teamwork and communication
• Curiosity about new subjects
• A stronger sense of belonging

Every activity gives students something meaningful to work toward—and another reason to feel proud of what they can accomplish.

Creator League Chess Experiences

Monthly Chess Challenge

Every month, members receive a short set ** selected chess puzzles** appropriate for their learning level.

The goal is not simply to find the correct move. Students are encouraged to pause, examine the board, consider different possibilities, and explain their thinking.

Students who complete the challenge can earn a special digital badge or achievement certificate recognizing their progress.

Children practice:

• Tactical thinking
• Pattern recognition
• Concentration
• Decision-making
• Confidence solving problems independently

Ulamaify Saturday Chess Arena

Once each month, Creator League members are invited to join the Ulamaify Saturday Chess Arena—a friendly online tournament where students can practice, compete, and enjoy chess with the Ulamaify community.

Players are matched as fairly as possible according to age and experience. The focus is on participation, improvement, good sportsmanship, and learning from every game.

Students may receive recognition for achievements such as:

• Tournament Champion
• Best Sportsmanship
• Most Thoughtful Game
• Strongest Improvement
• Creative Move Award
• Never-Give-Up Award

Every tournament is another opportunity for children to become more comfortable thinking under pressure and applying what they have learned.

Bring-a-Friend Week

Learning is even more enjoyable when children can share it with someone they know.

During selected Bring-a-Friend Weeks, each active Creator League member may invite one friend to join an eligible Ulamaify activity at no additional charge.

The invited friend can:

• Experience an Ulamaify learning activity
• Meet the instructor and other students
• Participate alongside their friend
• Discover whether Chess or another Ulamaify program interests them

Advance registration is required, and participation is subject to class availability and the activity’s age requirements.

More Challenges Are Coming

The Creator League will grow alongside Ulamaify.

Chess is the first featured program, but future Creator League experiences may introduce children to coding, Minecraft Education, artificial intelligence, graphic design, and other creative subjects.

New activities will be announced as the related Ulamaify programs become available.

Scratch Coding Challenges

Students may receive short creative missions such as:

• Animate a character telling a story
• Design a simple maze game
• Build a quiz for friends or family
• Create a project using a monthly theme
• Add an original feature to an existing project

Selected projects may be featured in an Ulamaify student showcase.

Minecraft Education Build Challenges

Students may use Minecraft Education to design solutions, explore ideas, and work creatively.

Possible challenges include:

• Build a sustainable community
• Design a safe animal habitat
• Create a city of the future
• Rebuild a historical place
• Solve a team construction mission
• Use coding to automate something inside a Minecraft world

Challenges will emphasize planning, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving—not simply playing the game.

AI Creator Challenges

As Ulamaify’s AI programs become available, members may explore simple, responsible, and age-appropriate AI activities.

Possible experiences include:

• Design a helpful AI assistant
• Explore how computers recognize patterns
• Create a story or character with guided AI tools
• Examine whether an AI answer is accurate
• Develop an idea that uses technology to help people
• Learn how to use AI safely and responsibly

The focus will remain on children’s own thinking, creativity, and judgment.

Python and Coding Missions

Older or more experienced students may receive practical coding challenges such as:

• Fix a small program
• Complete a missing part of a game
• Build a useful calculator
• Create a text-based adventure
• Analyze simple data
• Use an API in a guided project
• Complete a team coding mission

These activities help students move from following instructions to confidently building their own ideas.

Special Creator League Experiences

As the community grows, members may also receive access to additional experiences throughout the year.

Team Challenges

Students work together to solve a problem, complete a creative mission, or represent their team in a friendly competition.

Student Project Showcase

Children have opportunities to present selected projects, explain how they created them, and celebrate their progress with families and other students.

Achievement Badges

Members can collect badges for participation, creativity, improvement, teamwork, sportsmanship, and completing special challenges.

Creator Spotlight

Selected students and projects may be celebrated on Ulamaify’s website, newsletter, or community channels—with parent or guardian permission.

Seasonal Events

Special activities may be offered during school breaks and important times of the year, including themed tournaments, build challenges, coding events and more.

At the end of the League year, students can look back at the challenges they completed, the skills they developed, and the projects they created.

Designed for Growth, Not Pressure

The Creator League is not only about winning tournaments or finishing first.

We want children to learn that meaningful growth also comes from:

• Trying something unfamiliar
• Thinking through a difficult problem
• Improving after a mistake
• Finishing a project
• Helping a teammate
• Showing good sportsmanship
• Having the confidence to share an idea

Children develop at different speeds. The League celebrates effort, progress, creativity, and character—not only final results.
