Learn to get useful, accurate work out of AI tools. Students practice writing clear instructions, giving the right context, checking answers and using AI safely for school, projects and work.
Level: Beginner
Ages: 11–18 and adults
Length: 6 weeks
Format: Live classes with hands-on practice
About AI accounts: Most AI chat services require users to be 13 or older, and some require 18 or older. Younger students practice through instructor-led sessions, and we never ask students to create accounts they aren’t old enough for.
