'JAM' is the name of an online hub that offers a variety of courses for kids. These skill-building courses offer kids the chance to learn everything from [illustration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-coloring-drawing-book-app) to [singing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outschool) and [cooking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pampered-chef-kids-club), as well as niche courses like how to 'Host a Minecraft Video Show.'

Each of these courses is led by an expert in their respective fields, which means that kids will be learning practical skills from those who have found success in their industry. As well as working towards one big project, JAM also notes a few of the other skills that kids can pick up along the way. For instance, in the 'Invent Your Own Machines' course, kids will learn about machines, prototyping, persistence and innovation.

An annual subscription to JAM costs $99, which provides access to the courses via web and mobile devices.
