Who this course is for
A great fit for curious students who want to understand what's really happening behind AI tools, not just use them. No programming background is required, though prior experience with block-based coding (like Scratch) is helpful. This course pairs well as a stepping stone toward our AI Enablement and Vibecoding course.
Every AI course at Launchpad follows our AI usage disclaimer, a message from the founder on how instructors and students are expected to use AI, and the uses we do not approve of.
