From typing prompts to thinking with AI
Most students are already using AI — but using it the same way they'd use a search engine. They type a vague question, get a vague answer, and move on. This course moves your student from casual user to skilled operator: someone who understands what an AI is doing under the hood, knows how to direct it, and can recognize when it's wrong. By week 4, your student will have built their own AI Project around a real idea of their own — work they can keep using long after the course ends.
Who this course is designed for
This course is built for any student who wants to actually understand how to work with AI — not just type into a chat box and hope for the best. No prior AI experience is required. Whether your student is brand new to AI or already uses it day to day, this course gives them the framework professionals use, taught by someone who works in the field.
✓ Students new to AI
No experience required. The course starts from first principles — what an AI actually is and how it works — before building real skills on top.
✓ Students with an entrepreneurial spark
Every student brings a real idea to the course and learns to use AI as a thinking partner to build it — turning curiosity into something they can actually act on.
✓ Students who want a real skill, not a shortcut
This course teaches students to reason with AI and direct it like a professional — a durable skill that compounds over time, not a one-off trick.
✓ Students preparing for what's next
Colleges and employers are already screening for AI fluency. This course gives your student a real head start while the window is open.

Course curriculum
This course covers four foundational weeks of AI fluency — from understanding what an AI actually is, to writing prompts professionals use, to building a custom Project, to recognizing when AI is wrong. Each week builds directly on the last, and your student works on their own business or project idea the whole way through.
What an LLM actually is Foundations
Students learn the mental model professionals use: AI as a calculator that balances input and output. They run hands-on prompt experiments to see why specific inputs produce dramatically better results — and start shifting their focus from what to ask to what they want back.
Prime, Prompt, Proof — the strong session framework Framework
The three-part structure for getting real work out of AI. Students learn to load context (Prime), state a clear objective (Prompt), and force the AI to surface what it needs to give a better answer (Proof) — applied to their own business or project idea.
Building a Project — your AI workspace Application
Students build their own AI Project: a container that holds instructions, attachments, and conversation history so the AI shows up pre-loaded for their specific work. By the end of the week, they have a Project they can keep using long after the course ends.
Failure modes — when AI is wrong Critical thinking
The three ways AI fails: sycophancy (agreeing because you pushed), hallucination (confident specifics that aren't real), and over-reach (tidy answers to messy questions). Students learn to set guardrails into their own prompts so they can reason with AI, not be misled by it.
Real results from real students
"My son went from typing one-line questions into Claude to actually building a real plan for a side business he wants to start. He talks about 'priming' the AI now like he knows what he's doing — because he does. This course changed how he thinks, not just what he uses."
"My daughter is genuinely ahead of her friends now on this stuff. She built a Project around her babysitting business and uses it constantly. Having someone who actually works in AI teach her — not just read a script — made all the difference."
