Who it's for.
The curious beginner — a working adult, student, career changer, or small-business owner who can use a web browser and write an email but has little or no practical AI experience. You want useful workflows, not code or mathematics.
This is an applied AI literacy course: it does not train you to build machine-learning models, certify legal compliance, or automate high-stakes decisions.
Prerequisites.
- No coding, statistics, or prior AI experience required.
- Independent study or facilitated groups.
How it's structured.
- 12 weeksA full quarter of structured study — one week at a time, at your pace.
- 24 sessionsTwo sessions per week (A and B) — each a complete unit with readings, practice, and checks.
- 120 knowledge checksQuestions in every session plus an end-of-book answer section — prove what you know as you go.
- Capstone workflowA tested, responsible capstone you present to a non-technical audience — the proof of the course.
What you get.
Every level pairs a book with a course. The book is the curriculum — the complete text and the standard of evidence. The course is the guided path through it — sessions, knowledge checks, and capstone work.
