AI Workshop
Learn to Build with AI
Walk away with something real. 6 weeks. 1-2 hours per week. Free.
Why This Exists
Most students use AI to get answers faster. That's fine for homework, but it won't help you stand out when everyone has access to the same tools.
This workshop flips the script. Instead of using AI, you'll learn to build with AI—creating tools that solve real problems, not just consuming outputs.
Real Talk
"I can just learn this from YouTube."
You can learn about these tools from YouTube. But watching someone else build something is different from building it yourself with feedback from peers and mentors.
"I'm already busy with school/work."
That's why it's 1-2 hours a week, not 10. If you can't spare an hour a week for 6 weeks, this probably isn't for you.
"What if I'm not technical enough?"
We're not coding. If you can use ChatGPT, you can do this. The point is to learn, not to already know.
"Will this actually help me get a job/into college?"
"I built an AI tool that 30 people used" is more interesting than "I took an AI course." Specific > vague.
