Build With AI
An 8-week hands-on workshop that takes students from prompt to shipped product.
Instructor. 8-week hands-on AI product-building series. 100+ registrations, 20+ live participants per session.
Overview
Build With AI is an 8-week hands-on workshop series that takes students from 'I've heard of ChatGPT' to 'I shipped a real AI product.' Live sessions, weekly builds, deployment, growth — the whole loop.
The story
Every AI course I'd seen stopped at theory or chatbot demos. Students would finish 'learning AI' without ever having shipped a thing anyone used. Build With AI was the version I wished existed: every week you ship something, and by week 8 you have a real product and a real audience.
Who it's for
The problem
Most AI courses stop at theory or chatbot demos. Students never learn how to actually ship a product end-to-end with modern tooling.
Approach
Eight weeks of live sessions covering prompt design, full-stack AI apps, deployment, and growth. Hands-on builds every session.
What I built
- 8-week curriculum (prompt design → full-stack AI → deployment → growth)
- Live weekly sessions with hands-on builds
- Cohort community + project showcase
Outcome
100+ registrations, 20+ live participants per session. Students shipped real projects, several continued building after the cohort.
Highlights
- 100+ registrations
- 20+ live participants per session
- Hands-on shipping every week
Reflections
The students who shipped weren't the ones with the most prior experience — they were the ones who showed up every session. Forcing shipping every week beats teaching theory every time.
