Term-based cohort
Five weeks, a fixed group, weekly live sessions, peer work, and assignments.
What it is
AI Summer School teaches practical, general AI for the way higher-ed teams actually work — not a product demo, not a tech seminar. About 39% of programs already use AI informally; this makes your team confident and deliberate with it.
Real outcomes
You graduate with an artifact — your first working agent.
