Demo Week — when the work takes the stage.
Every Kubrio season ends the same way: with a few days set aside for the things kids 6–13 actually finished. Films premiere, games get played, magazines get read, and the families who watched it all get made are there for it. The next one is Sept 1–4, 2026.
31 days until the next Demo Week
What is Demo Week?
Demo Week is the finale of a Kubrio season. Four times a year, the studio’s season ends in a few days when kids’ finished work takes the stage and families celebrate what got made.
It works like a recital or an end-of-year art show — except it is built into the calendar rather than added on top of it, and the work on stage is a short film, a game other kids play, a magazine with a kid’s name on the cover. Every season has one. The next is Sept 1–4, 2026.
How it works
A season of making, and then a few days of showing.
- 1
All season, kids finish things.
A season runs six to nine weeks with a real deadline at the end. Your kid moves between projects in the studio — a short film, a manga, a podcast episode, a game — and every piece they finish lands in their portfolio.
- 2
Each kid picks the piece they're proudest of.
As the season closes, your kid chooses one finished piece to put forward for the program. It's their pick, made by them — not a grade handed down, and not the piece an adult would have chosen.
- 3
The work is shown, and families watch.
Across the days of Demo Week the work goes up and gets celebrated, with families watching. It stays inside the same verified, kid-only space as the rest of Kubrio — no strangers, no open messaging.
How work gets picked
Every portfolio gets seen.
A real jury looks at every kid’s portfolio — every single one — and standout work takes the big stage. The more a kid makes, the more the jury sees.
That is the whole rule. Demo Week is a celebration of work, never a ranking of kids: no scores, no leaderboards, no places, and nothing for a kid to lose. The reward for making a lot is simply that more of it gets looked at.
The rhythm
Four seasons a year, four Demo Weeks.
Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring. Each season is a few weeks with a cohort and a real deadline, and each one ends in its own Demo Week, so the next start line is never far away. Between seasons the studio stays open for solo making, with no clock.

Frequently asked questions
What is Demo Week?
Demo Week is the finale of a Kubrio season: four times a year, the studio's season ends in a few days when kids' finished work takes the stage and families celebrate what got made. It works like a recital or an end-of-year art show, built into the calendar rather than added on top of it. The work on stage is a real finished thing — a short film, a game other kids play, a magazine with a kid's name on the cover — made by kids aged 6 to 13 across the season.
When is the next Demo Week?
The next Demo Week is Sept 1–4, 2026. Kubrio runs four seasons a year and each season ends in its own Demo Week, so the dates move with the season — the live count of days remaining sits at the top of this page, and the full season calendar is at https://kubrio.com/sprints.
How does my kid's work get shown?
All season your kid makes and finishes projects in the studio, and each finished piece lands in their portfolio. Near the close of the season your kid picks the one they're proudest of for the program, and during Demo Week that work is shown and celebrated with families watching. It all happens inside the same verified, kid-only space as the rest of Kubrio — no strangers, no open messaging.
Is Demo Week a competition?
No. A real jury looks at every kid's portfolio — every single one — and standout work takes the big stage, but nothing is ranked. There are no scores, no leaderboards and no places. Demo Week celebrates the work; it never sorts the kids.
There is a season running right now.
One family membership covers every kid in the house: the whole catalog of projects, the AI Crew inside every one of them, and Claire coaching the journey — every season, and every Demo Week.
