About This Course
AI is the biggest shift in technology since the internet — and most teens only know how to use it, not how it works or how to build with it. This course turns students from AI consumers into AI builders, using Python to create real applications powered by the same models behind ChatGPT and Claude.
Students learn how large language models actually work, how to talk to them through code, and how to combine them with their own logic to build chatbots, study tools, and creative apps. The course finishes with a self-designed AI project — built, tested, and presented at demo day. Some Python experience (our Python Programming course or equivalent) is recommended.

The 12-Week Journey
12 weeks · 6 modules · every module ends with a working project
How AI Actually Works
What a language model is, how it learns, and why it sometimes gets things wrong. Students experiment hands-on and learn to spot hallucinations and bias.
Prompt Engineering
Writing prompts like an engineer: instructions, examples, and structured output. Students build a prompt library that powers their later projects.
Your First AI Program
Connect Python to a real AI API. Students write code that sends prompts, reads responses, and turns a script into an interactive AI tool.
Building Chatbots
Give a bot a personality, conversation memory, and guardrails. Students design and build their own themed chatbot — a tutor, a game master, or a character.
AI + Data Projects
Use AI to do useful work: summarize articles, generate quizzes from notes, and classify text. Students build a study tool they can actually use for school.
Final Project & Demo Day
Students design, build, and test an AI application of their own choosing, then present it at demo day — explaining not just what it does, but how it works.

Tools They'll Use
Python 3
The language of AI — the same one used by professional ML engineers.
AI APIs
Real large language model APIs — the same technology behind ChatGPT and Claude.
VS Code
The professional editor students already know from our Python course.
