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.
