AI Literacy: From Aware to Capable
A four-day, hands-on path to using AI effectively, responsibly, and with confidence.
A hands-on, four-day AI literacy course for professionals and students who want to move from AI-aware to AI-capable. You will learn how modern AI systems actually work, how to choose the right tool for a task, how to write structured prompts, and how to work across text, images, PDFs, and audio.

- Select AI tools appropriately for your purpose
- Create effective, structured prompts
- Use AI responsibly in academic research and verify its output
- Assess the strengths and weaknesses of AI
- Generate text, visual, and presentation content
- Explain the concept of an AI agent and where it applies
