Curriculum Overview

What You Will Explore

Day 1 — Understanding AI

From conversation to critical thinking. Attendees begin by exploring what today's AI models are capable of, then shift to learning how to use them intentionally — for learning, not just answers.

What can AI models actually do?
Where do they fall short?
How do you use AI as a learning tool — not a shortcut?
What are the dos and don’ts?

Day 2 — Building with AI

Hands-on. Attendees train their own AI classifier, conduct independent research, and tackle the harder questions around responsible use.

Train a machine learning classifier from scratch
Lead your own AI research investigation
Explore the ethics of AI in the real world
Present your findings

The Takeaway — Attendees leave with a sharper understanding of how AI systems actually work, the critical thinking to evaluate them, and the foundation to build on them.
