What you'll learn and build.
Across five live modules over two weeks, you will learn how to ask stronger questions, improve your school and creative work, build a functional first version, and put it in front of other people for feedback. Click any module for the details.
Most people use AI like a more advanced search box. This module fixes the mental model first: what AI actually is, why it sometimes makes things up, and how to get genuinely useful answers. Students learn which assistant to use, the anatomy of a strong prompt, and how to tell when AI is confidently wrong.
- Compare ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity
- Research with checkable sources
- Learn a reusable prompting framework
- Identify hallucinations and unsupported claims
- Build the habit of verifying important outputs
- Preview what you will be able to build by the end of the program
AI can support far more than chatbot conversations. Students explore useful tools for studying, researching, presenting, writing, and creating. The focus remains on keeping their own thinking, language, and point of view at the center.
- Turn notes into summaries, quizzes, and audio overviews
- Build a presentation from a topic
- Generate posters and visual concepts
- Explore AI-supported music and video tools
- Apply selected tools to current coursework or creative work
- Compare when AI improves the work and when it weakens it
Students move from AI that advises to AI that helps them build. They begin with a quick browser-based exercise, then create a fuller, shareable first version in plain language without needing to code.
- Understand the difference between a chatbot and a builder
- Make a working mini-project in the browser
- Build a shareable project using a no-code platform
- Improve the project by describing changes
- Explore the range from simple builders to more advanced tools
- Connect the project to an academic, extracurricular, professional, or entrepreneurial goal
Once students can build, they learn how tools can work together. This module introduces agents, automations, and professional AI-building environments so students understand where the field is heading.
- See how an AI agent can create files and complete tasks
- Watch a build in Claude Code
- Learn plan mode, iteration, memory, and other foundational concepts
- Understand how skills and automations extend an agent
- Push a project further than one tool could manage alone
- Learn the vocabulary used by professional AI builders
The skill separating careless AI use from strong AI use is judgment. Students learn how to verify work, spot misleading or manipulated content, maintain academic and professional integrity, and present what they built to an audience.
- Verify AI output efficiently
- Identify deepfakes and AI-generated content
- Improve a project to a showcase standard
- Present what you built
- Gather feedback
- Decide what to build next
- Create a plan to continue after the program
Build something you can leverage.
Use what you create to strengthen an application, pursue an internship, demonstrate initiative to an employer, or continue developing the project into a venture of your own.
