The gap we fill
The earlier students create, the further they go.
When students get hands-on creative experience: building projects, exploring tools, telling their own stories. Something shifts. They find direction. They build confidence. They discover what they’re capable of before the window closes.
Most schools don’t have access to this kind of specialized creative-tech learning. Creatineers closes that gap. Professional, industry-informed curriculum, rooted in Disney and Amazon experience, brought directly into your school. Fully ready to run.
What students do
Students don’t just learn. They make.
Creative Technology & AI
AI literacy, responsible use, and creative AI workflows. Students learn to use AI as a creative tool that expands what they can make.

“We partnered with the CREATINEERS for the first time during Summer Rising 2024. Our participants found the curriculum engaging. Our staff enjoyed leading the activities, as they were structured, yet allowed for creativity and freedom of expression. DYCD observed a lesson during their summer evaluation and were impressed with the quality of the lessons and the engagement exhibited by the participants. We will be using the CREATINEERS at two of our junior high school locations this fall to help fulfill our Exploring Futures requirement.”

“Once again this week's exercise was amazing and so much fun. The students are really getting into the voice acting and sound effects. I am just in awe of the way this curriculum is structured. Please be so very proud of this program and thank you for giving children an opportunity to create at this level.”

“CREATINEERS has done a fabulous job with our students at 4 of our sites. I would highly recommend Academy of Animated Art to other CBOs that might be looking to add a new STEM option at their sites.”
The founder
Built by a Disney Animation Artist and Amazon Design Tech Leader.
Jasmine Katatikarn spent more than twenty years working inside two of the most creatively and technically demanding environments in the industry: Disney (Blue Sky) Animation and Amazon. Creatineers came out of what she learned there, and what she brought back from there.
This isn’t a curriculum built in a classroom. It’s one built from the inside of an industry, handed to students years before they’d normally encounter it.
