Detailed Curriculum
A practical five-week roadmap from AI fundamentals to a polished, showcase-ready prototype.
- Map the AI landscape: machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI, and how they relate
- Recognise where AI genuinely helps and where simpler solutions are better
- Frame a clear problem statement and success criteria for your AI prototype
- Explore a simple dataset: features, labels, and data quality basics
- Understand training, testing, and why evaluation matters
- Connect data quality to model performance
- Measure and compare AI outputs against clear expectations
- Evaluate progress against your problem framing
- Use evaluation findings to guide iteration
- Understand how generative models produce text and other content
- Write clear, structured prompts and iterate based on output quality
- Spot limitations, errors, and sensible usage boundaries
- Design a simple end-to-end flow from input to AI output
- Assemble the prototype using the ideas from the earlier weeks
- Test with realistic examples and refine the interaction
- Evaluate your prototype against the original problem framing
- Fix obvious issues and polish the final build
- Prepare a short demo and summary of what you built and learned

The AI Foundations workshop is a 5-week beginner-friendly program that maps AI, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI — and guides you to a working AI-powered prototype by the final week.
Founders, students, and professionals who are new to AI and want a practical foundation, plus a concrete prototype they can point to.
No. The workshop starts from the fundamentals, so no heavy math or coding background is required — basic computer comfort is enough.
A working AI-powered prototype for a problem you frame in Week 1, plus a short showcase covering how it works, how you evaluated it, and next steps.
5 weeks, one module per week, with structured sessions and small weekly builds leading to your prototype.
