First session each week · PowerUp

You’ll learn four different ways to use AI.

For the first four weeks, one live session is a PowerUp. It changes how you research, create, organise yourself or think through a decision. The second session puts that skill into your project.

PowerUpBuild HourLearn the capability, then use it on your own work.
  1. Week 1PowerUp 01

    Know what you’re working with

    AI Empowerment

    We make models, context windows and prompting understandable, then help you choose a project and plan the first version.

    By the endA project that fits five weeks, and a better idea of how to ask AI for useful help.

  2. Week 2PowerUp 02

    Use AI to think, not drift

    Cognitive PowerUp

    Read with it, compare information, check what looks doubtful and work through a decision without disappearing into an AI rabbit hole.

    By the endOne decision you can explain and a next step you can take.

  3. Week 3PowerUp 03

    Turn an idea into something visible

    Creative PowerUp

    Plan the story first, then use structured prompts to make the images, design, video or music your project needs.

    By the endCreative assets that feel like parts of the same project.

  4. Week 4PowerUp 04

    Take some weight out of your head

    Social & System PowerUp

    Build a Life OS for tasks and decisions. Then use AI to rehearse a hard conversation without pretending it can replace your judgment.

    By the endA clearer plan, less mental clutter and your judgment still in charge.

Session 01PowerUpLearn the capability
Session 02Build HourUse it on your project

Week 5 is different. The ninth session is the live showcase, where everyone presents what they made.

Second session each week · Build Hour

The second session belongs to your project.

The PowerUp gives you a new way to use AI. The Build Hour is where you use it on your own work. Each week has one clear job, so the idea keeps becoming more concrete.

What people built

Here’s what they
actually made.

One person came to make a film. Another built a voice agent. The projects look different because each builder chose a problem or idea they cared about.

Meet the builders
Before

Had film and storytelling ideas but struggled to make them visible.

Built

A consistent storyboard and the start of an animated short film.

Before

Was not convinced AI could handle emotion or help write a creative script.

Built

A script and storyboard for an anime-style short film.

Before

Came in with a project and questions about where to take it.

Built

Finished with work he could show and a clearer account of what had changed.

  • AI assistantLive workflow

Why the live format matters

Most people don’t need another course.

They need a reason to keep going when the first version is awkward. PowerUp is live, small and built around one project, so every session gives the work somewhere to go.

01

Mentors who remember being new

The people leading each session are near-peer builders, close enough to remember what getting stuck feels like.

02

The project starts immediately

There is no long theory phase. You begin making in the first live session.

03

A small group changes the rhythm

Your crew sees the work each week, which makes it harder to quietly put it off.

04

You finish with evidence

The project shows what you can do more clearly than a certificate.

For companies

Want to offer PowerUp to your employees’ families?

See the company options

Companies can fund places for the young people their employees care about. We run the five-week programme. Participants finish with a project the family can see and talk about.
