Creating and Learning with AI
This unique course focuses on the pedagogical and collaborative potential of AI. It explores how Artificial Intelligence can be used to accelerate the acquisition of new creative skills and how to design educational experiences using AI tools. Students will learn to use AI as a “knowledge partner” to dismantle complex topics, create personalized learning curriculums, and build educational content for others, effectively “learning how to learn” in the age of algorithms.
§ 01 By the end you can
- Utilize AI to deconstruct complex creative skills into manageable learning paths
- Design personalized "AI Tutors" for specialized knowledge acquisition
- Analyze the cognitive shift from "rote memorization" to "curation and synthesis"
- Create educational content and tutorials using generative text and video tools
- Evaluate the reliability and hallucinations of AI in an educational context

| Advanced AI Techniques for Creative Practice | This capstone-level technical course is for students who have mastered basic prompting and wish to push the engine to its limits. |
| AI as Co-Creator | This course challenges the "Man vs. Machine" narrative, proposing instead a symbiotic relationship where Artificial Intelligence acts as a collaborator. |
| AI as Creative Partner | This interdisciplinary studio course reframes Artificial Intelligence from a "tool" to a "collaborator." It focuses on the psychological and workflow dynamics of working with a non-human intelligence. |
| AI, Code, & Art (AI & Art track) | Designed for the technical artist, this advanced track dives under the hood of generative tools. While other courses focus on using interface-based tools (like Midjourney), this course focuses on programming them. |
| AI, Design, and Immersive Experiences | This capstone immersive course merges Virtual Reality (VR) with Artificial Intelligence. Students will learn to create "Smart Environments"—virtual worlds populated by AI agents that can converse, navigate, and react to the user. |
| AI-Driven Fashion Design | This specialized course explores the intersection of high fashion and artificial intelligence. Students will learn to use generative tools to predict trends, design textiles, and visualize garments without the need for physical waste. |
