The Flagship Course

Think Critically, Use Confidently

4 weeks20–30 students per cohortFrom $495

A four-week virtual course for adults who want to understand AI on their own terms. Not a coding bootcamp, not a hype seminar. A hands-on, human-centered course that teaches you how to actually use AI tools in your daily life and work, while giving you the critical thinking skills to know when the tools are helping, when they are failing, and when they are not worth the trade-off.

Who It's For

Adults (millennials through baby boomers) who are comfortable with everyday technology but do not have a coding or technical background. Professionals, retirees, entrepreneurs, and community leaders who want to understand the AI moment we are in without being talked down to, oversold, or left behind.
