Workshops on this planet

An AI isn't a person. It isn't magic. It's a machine that learned by reading a lot — and your job is to ask it good questions and check its work.

Better Prompt in Three Moves

Most kids ask AI like they're texting. The trick is layering. Click each move to see how the same starter prompt becomes ten times more useful.

Starter prompt
"Help me with my history project."
Now look at the difference. Same question, three small additions. The AI can finally aim. Specificity is the whole trick.

The 9 Workshops

Foundation (01-03), Practice (04-06), Mastery (07-09). Work them in order for the full progression.

01 - Foundation
First Prompt
A prompt is not a wish. It's a request built precisely enough for the machine to answer well.
02 - Foundation
First Refusal
The most important skill with the machine is knowing when to say no.
03 - Foundation
First Partnership
The machine is your apprentice, not your oracle.
04 - Practice
Three Tries Make a Prompt
The first prompt is a guess. The third one usually works.
05 - Practice
Trust But Check
Cross-checking what an AI tells you against the real world.
06 - Practice
Tell the Machine Where It Is
Giving the model the right context - role, audience, constraints.
07 - Mastery
When to Use AI, When Not To
Knowing the difference between a tool that helps and a tool that takes over.
08 - Mastery
AI as a Thinking Partner
Using AI to think with you without losing your own voice.
09 - Mastery
