This IS (Not) Your Mother’s AI Course: A Beginner’s Guide to ChatGPT, Gemini and AI

Instructors: Danny Gavin, MBA, and Prof. William Zahn, PhD

AI is everywhere. Your co-workers are using it. Your kids are using it. Even your neighbor who still has a flip phone is talking about it. And yet… you haven’t touched it. Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Maybe you just don’t know where to start. That’s where we come in.

This course is designed for anyone who has never used ChatGPT, Gemini, or any AI tool before—but is ready to take the first step. No jargon, no tech background required. Just simple, practical lessons that will have you using AI confidently (and actually having fun with it) before you know it.

What You'll Learn (Without Feeling Like You’re in a Science Class):

✅ What AI actually is and how it works—explained in plain English
✅ How to talk to AI like a pro (a.k.a. writing prompts that get good results)
✅ Common AI mistakes & how to avoid them (so you don’t trust AI to plan your vacation… and end up in the wrong country)
✅ Fun and practical ways to use AI in daily life—whether for work, personal tasks, or just making life easier

How It Works:

📺 Short, easy-to-follow videos (no boring lectures!)
📝 Hands-on practice prompts (so you actually use AI, not just learn about it)
📚 Simple assignments to build confidence (no grades, no stress)
🎓 Certificate of completion (to show off your new AI skills)

Who is this for?
👉 Anyone who has heard of ChatGPT but never opened it
👉 People who think AI sounds intimidating (it’s not, we promise!)
👉 Professionals, parents, students—anyone who wants to make life easier with AI
