## The path

- **Programming in Python.** Syntax, data, functions, classes and a first Streamlit app. No prerequisites.
- **Generative AI & LLMs.** How models like ChatGPT work, prompt engineering and a chatbot capstone.
- **Advanced AI: RAG & agents.** Embeddings, vector databases, LangChain workflows and AI agents.

## How it's taught

Small live sessions with practitioners, in person or online. Students build as they go, and every program covers ethics, safety and security.

## Questions

No. Programming in Python starts from zero.

**Is it live?**

Yes. Every session is taught live; there are no pre-recorded videos.
