Live session · Free for students · 2 hours · Online (Google Meet) · English · Flexible scheduling

Go from "AI curious" to AI-capable in one focused session. Learn the tools that are already reshaping careers — and leave with a personal AI workflow you can use from tomorrow.

Spotlight: Google NotebookLM — your AI-powered second brain

You will get a dedicated deep-dive into NotebookLM — Google's free research and study tool that reads your PDFs, notes, and slides, then answers your questions, creates study guides, and even generates podcast-style audio summaries. It is one of the most powerful free tools available to students right now, and most people have never heard of it.

What you will learn

• AI fundamentals that actually matter — a practical mental model of how LLMs, chatbots, and AI agents work, without the jargon overload.
• NotebookLM mastery — upload your textbooks, research papers, and lecture notes; extract insights, generate summaries, build study guides, and use the Audio Overview feature.
• Prompt engineering for students — write prompts that get you real answers, not hallucinations. Covers Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and free-tier strategies.
• AI for assignments & research — how to legally and ethically use AI for essays, literature reviews, presentations, and project reports.
• Career-building with AI — use AI tools to build a portfolio, craft a standout resume, ace technical interviews, and develop in-demand skills for the 2026 job market.
• 100% free stack — every single tool covered has a free tier or student plan. No paid subscriptions required to follow along.
