THE TAKEAWAYS
What you’ll learn
- Distinguish an AI application, a chatbot interface, and a model; identify an unsupported claim.
- Define a small useful task using inputs, expected output, and a success condition.
- Write a prompt with context, constraints, verified facts, and an output format.
- Revise a response for a specific audience without changing its facts.
- Check factual claims, arithmetic, links, and dates with appropriate evidence.
- Remove unnecessary personal information and recognize risky requests or unfair assumptions.
- Design a reusable study or work assistant with checks and a human decision point.
- Choose a realistic next learning path and describe a four-week practice plan.
- Produce a documented AI workflow with before-and-after evidence and reflection.
Is this for you?
Students, teachers, parents, job seekers, workers, and small-business owners starting with AI.
Before you start
- No coding or specialist mathematics required.
- A notebook or document editor; a browser is useful for optional source checking.
- Use fictional or authorized, non-sensitive inputs. A chat tool is optional.
PUT IT TO WORK
What you’ll build
My AI Plan. Client scenario: a community organizer needs a useful event reminder. Deliverable: a one-page workflow plus an evidence appendix.
Start with familiar tasks rather than technical jargon. You will draft an event reminder, improve a study plan, catch invented details, recalculate a budget, and design a reusable assistant. Each lesson includes a worked example and an activity you can complete without buying an AI subscription. The capstone brings your prompts, checks, corrections, and reflection together into evidence of a useful workflow.
