Curriculum & Learning Structure

Your Learning Journey

Our AI Unlocked course is built on a foundation of experiential learning. We believe in learning by doing – 20% teaching, 80% hands-on projects. Students don't just learn about AI; they create with it, solve problems with it, and understand its real-world impact through direct experience.

20% Teaching • 80% Project-Based Learning

We believe the best way to learn AI is by doing. Our curriculum emphasizes hands-on projects, real-world applications, and creative problem-solving over passive learning.
