Ready to build with AI? No tech background required.

In 90 minutes, you’ll go from curious to hands-on. We’re breaking down how AI actually works: what it does, how it shows up in your life, and who’s building these systems. Then you’ll build something real.

What you’ll do

Jump into plain-language AI fundamentals (real examples, no jargon)
Explore the ethics woven through it all: bias, community impact, power
Use a “vibe coding” platform to build your own coding project alongside other learners
Walk away with something you made

Who this is for

Novice AI learners, curious technologists, and people who want to understand AI without the barrier to entry. Live facilitation. Ages 18+.

Format

Virtual with live facilitation. 90 minutes.

This is a no-prerequisite space designed for real learning, not lectures. You’ll come in curious and leave with code.
