Do I need to pay for these tools?
Not at all! All the tools we’re covering have free versions, so there’s no cost to you. If you want to explore more advanced features later, some tools offer paid upgrades, but that’s totally optional.
Do I need a technical background for this course?
Nope! The first three sessions are perfect for anyone, whether you’re a tech-savvy pro or someone just starting out. The final session dives into coding tools, so if you’re into programming, you’ll find it extra exciting. But even if you skip it, there’s still plenty for you in the earlier sessions.
What if I can’t make a session?
Don’t worry! We know schedules can be busy, so all sessions are recorded. You can catch up anytime—it’s like having your own AI learning playlist.
Do I have to take the sessions in order?
Nope again! Each session is self-contained, so you can jump in whenever and wherever it works for you.
Will I receive a certificate?
Since this is a free and informal workshop, we don’t provide certificates. But if you’re looking for something more structured, we have awesome certification programs you can check out here.
What if I have questions for the instructor or need help?
We love questions! You’ll have plenty of chances to ask during the sessions. Plus, teaching assistants will be around in breakout rooms to give you one-on-one support.
Why did you choose these tools?
Great question! With so many AI tools out there, we focused on the ones our team actually uses—and loves. These tools are practical, versatile, and easy to pick up, making them perfect for this course.
Will the tools change if I re-watch the video later?
Probably! AI tools evolve quickly, and that’s part of the fun. We’ll update the course content whenever we run it again, so you’ll always get the freshest info when you attend live.
Will there be homework or assignments?
Nope—this course is all about discovery and exploration. There’s no homework, no tests, just tools and tips you can start using right away.
Why is this course relevant?
AI tools are everywhere, and they’re reshaping how we work, create, and innovate. Whether you’re a professional looking to save time, a student curious about AI, or someone who just loves learning new tech, this course gives you a hands-on introduction to tools that can make a big impact.
How is this course different from others?
Most free courses online are just quick tutorials. This workshop is designed for real learning, with live sessions, hands-on demos, and expert instructors who use these tools every day. It’s not just about learning what the tools do—it’s about seeing how they can fit into your life.
