“
20 years at Pixar, EA, and my own game studio. When AI changed how I work, I realized the hard part wasn't the tech. It was learning to think alongside it. So I built the AI curriculum I wish I'd had, informed by years of making award-winning educational apps and actually teaching kids. Hands-on, project-based, outcome over hype. This is me teaching you to think with AI, lesson by lesson, until it's just how you work.”
Live on Zoom. Three sessions, 2 hours each — April 20 (Mon), 22 (Wed), and 24 (Fri) at 2:00 PM IST.
What age is this for?
Ages 11 and up. No prior AI experience needed. We use real tools (not toys) and the pace is fast enough to keep sharp minds engaged.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The course focuses on prompting, creative AI tools, and critical thinking. We do introduce coding tools (like Claude Code) but no prior coding experience is required.
What tech do I need?
A laptop or desktop computer with a web browser and a stable internet connection. Tablets and phones won't work well for the lab exercises.
What if I miss a session?
All sessions are recorded and shared within 24 hours. You can watch the recording and ask questions in the next session.
