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.
Realize • Innovate • Strategize • Execute
Every lesson, project, and activity is designed around our proven RISE methodology, ensuring students not only understand AI concepts but can apply them creatively and responsibly in real-world scenarios.
Understand AI's potential and recognize opportunities
Create novel solutions using AI tools and thinking
Plan effective approaches to AI-powered projects
Bring ideas to life through hands-on implementation
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.
Our course is divided into two distinct zones, each lasting four weeks. Students progress from understanding AI fundamentals to applying AI in creative, real-world projects.
Build a solid foundation of AI knowledge. Students explore what AI is, how it works, its ethical implications, and its impact on society. This zone emphasizes critical thinking and understanding before application.
Transform knowledge into action. Students use popular AI tools, create projects, explore career pathways, and complete a capstone project. This zone develops practical skills and prepares students for an AI-integrated future.
We believe in growth, not grades. Our assessment approach focuses on reflection, skill development, and real-world application.
Students maintain digital journals documenting their learning journey, challenges overcome, and insights gained throughout the course.
Clear, transparent rubrics guide students through project requirements, focusing on creativity, technical execution, and ethical considerations.
Students build a portfolio of their AI projects, showcasing their skills and growth to future educators, employers, or universities.
