Educators & Staff Catalog

Practical, hands-on classes that help teachers and school professionals save time, support students, and prepare for the future.

Core

Over four interactive sessions (workshops - pick one), you’ll progress from core AI concepts to full-stack, zero-code solutions - building and deploying AI-powered tools. Along the way you’ll master how AI “thinks,” learn to craft precise prompts, turn raw data into predictive insights, personalize learning ethically, and teach machines to "see". Each class delivers a tangible, working AI asset that you can fine-tune and embed into your school’s teaching and operations.

AI Foundations & Prompt Engineering Mastery

Learn what AI really is, from neural networks up through deep‑learning architectures, and see those ideas in action through interactive visualizations. You’ll then build a solid prompting framework, exploring how to craft and evaluate prompts to guide AI system’s behavior. You’ll be able to understand “how AI thinks” and “how to talk AI’s language.”

AI‑Powered Productivity & Predictive Intelligence

Discover how to turn data into actionable insights and forecasts. You’ll explore how AI models can perform statistical analyses, like regression. Next, you’ll architect an end‑to‑end workflow that moves raw data through predictive algorithms into an interactive dashboard, equipping you to anticipate needs before they arise and reclaim hours of manual work.

Personalized Learning & Ethical AI in Action

Master the core concepts that make AI-driven personalization possible, from assessing individual learner profiles to dynamically adapting content. You’ll also delve into the methods for spotting bias, protecting privacy, and embedding ethical guardrails so that every AI‑enhanced experience remains fair, accurate, and inclusive.

Interactive AI & Computer Vision Innovations

Step beyond text to teach AI how to “see.” You’ll learn the fundamentals of image‑based classification, train a model on your own categories, and deploy it as an interactive application. You’ll explore key concepts, like real‑time inference to create hands‑on experiences that bring AI’s visual intelligence to life in any learning environment.
