Demo Week is when the work takes the stage.
Every Kubrio season ends the same way: with a week 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.

This season · the Spooky Season
Two patches to earn before December.
Finish one project this season and your kid earns Sprint Maker. Finish five and the patch is Sprint Legend. Both are lettered Halloween Sprints 2026, and they land at Demo Week, December 1–7.
Sprint Maker
Finish one project in a season and your kid earns the Sprint Maker patch.
Sprint Legend
Finish five in the same season and the patch is Sprint Legend.
Take it home
Each season gets its own artwork, so the patches stack up as a set — a kid who keeps finishing things collects the year.
And they are patches in the literal sense: the parent dashboard carries the full-resolution art and the steps for having one printed for real.
The short answer
What is Demo Week?
Demo Week is the finale of a Kubrio season. Four times a year, a three-month season ends in a week 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 Demo Week is Dec 1–7, 2026.
How it works
Three months of making, and then a week of showing.
All season, kids finish things.
A season runs three months 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.
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.
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.
Patches
Kids earn real patches for finished projects.
Every season carries two patches, and both are earned by finishing rather than by placing. No jury decides these, and nobody else’s season can take one away.

The rhythm
Four seasons a year, four Demo Weeks.
Seasons are numbered rather than named, and they run on one rule: three months of making, then a Demo Week on the first seven days of the next month. Each season starts the morning the last one stops making, so the next one is already under way while the last one’s work is on stage. There is no gap between seasons, and the studio is open for solo making the whole time.

Questions parents ask
Frequently asked questions
- What is Demo Week?
- Demo Week is the finale of a Kubrio season: four times a year, a three-month season ends in a week 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 Dec 1–7, 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.
