The room

People learning AI for themselves: career changers, retirees, students, parents, hobbyists, and anyone who wants to build something of their own rather than watch someone else do it.

The afternoon

  • Your own data: what to share with an AI and what to keep to yourself.
  • Accounts, keys and costs: running your own tools without surprises.
  • Judging an answer: when to trust it, when to check it, when to walk away.
  • Sharing what you built with family, a club or a community, safely.

What you take home

A personal AI rulebook and a working project you can keep building at home.

Plus the software you built in the morning, running on your own laptop.

Tell us what you need

Nothing here is a commitment. The more you tell us about the job you would bring, the better the day is built around real work, and the sooner we can tell you which date fits.
