LEVEL 01 · NEURON PROGRAM

SIGNAL

First contact with AI.

Six hours to take someone from casual ChatGPT user to confident, critical, daily AI practitioner — without writing a single line of code. The most important six hours in the program. Run it in one day, two half-days, or split across evenings — whatever fits your team.

WHO THIS IS FOR

If you've used ChatGPT but you're not sure you're using it well.

SIGNAL is built for complete beginners and casual AI users. No coding, no API keys, no paid AI subscription. Just a laptop and the willingness to type more than one sentence.

  • Complete beginners — never used AI or tried it once
  • Casual ChatGPT users who copy-paste and hope for the best
  • Anyone who thinks AI is "just a search engine"
  • People who know AI is important but don't know where to start
  • Ages 12+ with basic typing and phone/laptop experience

YOUNGER LEARNERS
Ages 12–15 do best on the Student track, in a 1:1 or a youth cohort. Module 04 — spotting where AI gets it wrong — is instructor-guided so the critical-thinking work lands.

WHAT SIGNAL TEACHES

Reasoning, writing, and decision-making with AI. Daily, professional fluency with one text-based AI tool — deeply, not superficially.

WHAT IT DOES NOT

Image generation (Midjourney, DALL·E) · video / animation (Runway, Sora) · audio / music (ElevenLabs, Suno) · writing code from scratch · other chat tools.

BY THE END OF SIGNAL

You'll be a confident, critical, daily AI user.

01
CORE SKILL
The 4-part prompt formula

Role + Context + Task + Format. The single most important framework in the program. By Module 2 it's muscle memory.

02
CORE SKILL
Iterating like a pro

The 5 follow-up patterns that turn a mediocre first response into a genuinely useful conversation.

03
CORE SKILL
File uploads + research partner

Upload PDFs, images, and your own documents. Use AI as a thinking partner that pressure-tests your ideas.

04
CORE SKILL
Spotting hallucinations + bias

When AI is wrong — and how to know. Critical thinking applied to AI output. Why you fact-check and how.

05
CORE SKILL
Real workflows for your real work

Build reusable prompt templates around your actual job, study, or creative work. Track-specific examples.

06
CORE SKILL
Capstone — Demo Day

A real project of your own, presented to your cohort. Your first prompt next to your final prompt — that's the certificate.

CURRICULUM

Six modules. Six hours. Your schedule.

Six tight modules totalling six contact hours. Each is hands-on practice on your own laptop. Mixed-track cohorts encouraged — examples differ, the skills are universal.

FLEXIBLE DELIVERY

Run all six modules as a 1-day intensive — back-to-back, no gaps. Or spread them across spaced sessions with at least a 3-day gap between each, so you practise as you go.

The curriculum is the same either way — we just shape the schedule around the cohort.

MODULE 01 · ALL TRACKS
Claude vs. ChatGPT

First conversations. The 4-part formula introduced. Why a one-liner produces a weak result, and what to do instead.

MODULE 02 · ALL TRACKS
The Art of the Prompt

Precision, roles, constraints. The 5 follow-up patterns. A 5-turn challenge that proves iteration beats starting over.

MODULE 03 · ALL TRACKS
Research Partner

File uploads, Extended Thinking. Upload your own documents — extract, summarise, quiz yourself. Devil's advocate prompting.

MODULE 04 · ALL TRACKS
When AI Gets It Wrong

Hallucinations, bias, and the limits of AI. Build a class AI policy together. The most important module in SIGNAL.

MODULE 05 · TRACK SPLIT
AI in Your World

Templates and workflows tailored to your track — student, professional, creator, founder. Plus a short SYNAPSE preview.

MODULE 06 · DEMO DAY
Capstone + Certification

Real project, real presentation, real certificate. Your first-hour prompt next to your last-hour prompt — the gap is what you earned.

CAPSTONE PROJECTS

Same skills. Four different projects.

Your final deliverable depends on which track fits your life. Pick the one that matches what you actually do.

STUDENT TRACK
Prompt Cookbook

10 annotated prompts you'd actually use, plus 2 failure analyses showing what went wrong and how you fixed it.

PROFESSIONAL TRACK
Before & After

A real recurring task at work, done both ways — without AI and with AI. Time saved, quality compared.

CREATOR TRACK
Creative Brief

A 5+ turn chain that takes a vague creative idea all the way to a complete brief, with annotations on each turn.

FOUNDER TRACK
One-Pager

A real concept stress-tested by AI — devil's advocate critique + competitor analysis + final 1-page memo.
