AI Fluency AI 素养
Everyone can chat with AI. Almost nobody uses the other ninety percent of it. In five sessions you learn what the machine actually is, then how to drive the parts most people never find — context, memory, Skills, and tools that do real work on your behalf — and you walk out having built something with an AI assistant rather than having talked to one.
Sign in with your school account. The courseware opens to students enrolled in this course.
What you will be able to do
- Students can explain the difference between training and inference, and use it to predict what a model can and cannot know.
- Students can say roughly how large today's frontier models are, what a parameter is, and where AGI and superintelligence sit relative to what exists.
- Students can describe what a context window is, what a turn costs, and why a long conversation degrades.
- Students can set up a Project with persistent instructions, files, and memory, and explain why that beats re-explaining themselves.
- Students can direct an AI agent (Claude Code) to complete a multi-step task, verify the result, and correct it.
- Students can write a Skill and connect an MCP server, and explain what each one adds that a prompt cannot.
- Students can put a dollar value on their own time and defend the number.
- Students ship one real artifact: a four-year high school and college-application plan (HS), or a working web page or small game they can demo (MS).
What you will build
High school
Their own four-year plan: courses, activities, summer arcs, and an application narrative — built as a living document inside a Project, with research they directed and verified themselves.
Middle school
A personal web page or a small playable game, built with Claude Code, deployed somewhere they can send a link to.
