You & AI for young adults

Wherever you are with AI—cautious, curious, or deep in the weeds—this series is about getting more value from AI.

Most education institutions don’t know how to teach AI the way it deserves to be taught. That means AI often becomes a crutch—a way to avoid thinking and doing—instead of a tool to strengthen your learning and amplify your work.

You & AI is designed to change that. This workshop series helps you become one of the top 10% of AI users by transforming how you collaborate with these tools. You’ll build the skills to use AI the way you’ll be expected to in the professional world: wisely, critically, and creatively.

Each session is immediately applicable, and you’ll practice integrating what you learn into projects that matter to you.

The sessions

Each session builds a new dimension of AI fluency, compounding your confidence and capability.

Part 1: Think with AI

These four sessions build your foundation — how to collaborate with AI as a thinking and creative partner. You'll learn to write with it, work with it on sustained projects, understand how it remembers and how to protect your privacy, and use it to learn more effectively.

Session 1: Writing
AI isn't a magic typewriter. It's a collaborator — but only if you know how to direct it. You'll learn a framework for collaborating with AI throughout the writing process, how to spot the tells of bad AI-assisted writing, and how to produce work that sounds like you, not like a machine.
Session 2: Projects
Learn to turn AI into a persistent workspace that supports real work over time. You'll set up Projects that help you plan, organize, and follow through — whether you're managing schoolwork, preparing for interviews, or building something on the side.
Session 3: Memory & Privacy
AI can remember what matters to you — your goals, your style, your context. But that power comes with real privacy tradeoffs. You'll learn to direct persistent memory intentionally and understand what data you're sharing and with whom.
Session 4: Learning with AI & Model Selection
AI can do more than explain things and make study guides. You'll learn tactics rooted in cognitive science for using AI to deepen your mastery — not replace the work of learning, but accelerate it. You'll also build judgment about which AI model fits which task, a skill that sharpens everything you do from here on.
Project: Pick a real problem or question that matters to you — academic, personal, or professional. Using what you've learned in Part 1, build an AI workspace around it: give it context, direct its memory, and collaborate with it to produce something valuable to you. You'll share what you made the following week.

Part 2: Research with AI

Part 1 gave you a thinking partner. Part 2 gives it reach. You'll learn to connect AI to real information — your own files, the open internet, academic sources, and raw data — and turn what you find into something other people can act on.

Session 5: Connectors & Deep Research
Until now, AI has only known what you type into it. Connectors change that — they let AI access your own files, email, and documents. Deep Research goes the other direction, letting AI investigate topics across the internet on your behalf. Together, they dramatically expand what AI can do for you.
Session 6: NotebookLM & ScholarGPT
When you're working across multiple sources — articles, papers, reports — you need tools built for synthesis. You'll learn to use NotebookLM and ScholarGPT to organize, interrogate, and draw connections across bodies of information.
Session 7: Analytics
AI can help you go further with data than you can with a spreadsheet alone. You'll work through real data together and learn to use AI as an analytic partner — asking better questions, spotting patterns, and building toward insights.
Session 8: Presentations
The final skill: turning your research and analysis into something other people can act on. You'll learn to use AI to build presentations that communicate clearly and persuasively — a natural capstone for everything you've learned.

FAQs

  • The easiest level up available in AI is to pay for your account, whether it’s with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot. Which AI you choose matters less than whether you’re using a free account vs a paid one.

    That said, as of the beginning of 2026, Claude offers the most powerful set of features for most professional work. It is our recommended AI if you are choosing one.

    This series will center features that are common across the AIs and use ChatGPT to demonstrate these since it is the most popular AI. It will also highlight some unique and valuable features from other AIs.

  • If you can already do all of these things fluently, you may be looking for something more advanced:

    • Use Projects as lightweight operating systems

    • Direct persistent memory

    • Select the appropriate model for the task

    If you have questions about fit, please feel free to contact us.
