The academy AI track is not “learn ChatGPT.” Models change. The skill that survives is knowing when a machine is drafting, when it is lying confidently, and when you still have to think. We will teach current tools on purpose and throw them out when they rot. That is the point of a living academy instead of a recorded course you bought in 2024.
Learners practise three loops: brief the tool like a junior, interrogate the output like an editor, then decide like an adult. South African context matters — data sensitivity, school honour codes, and the fact that a lot of “AI jobs” online are affiliate residue.
This track opens with the paid academy. Join the waitlist today — we’ll open it when the teaching is ready to stand on.
Where this shows up after a Johannesburg school week
The chatbot is already in the group chat. A learner pastes a history paragraph, hits send, and hopes the teacher will not notice the American spelling. That is not literacy. Literacy is knowing the tool drafted something, checking it against a source that exists in this country, and deciding whether the honour code still allows the paste. We will teach that loop with tools that exist this quarter — then bin them when they rot.
It sits next to SEO on purpose: both are how you avoid flooding the internet with sludge. The academy waitlist is the door. The live day is still the mindset layer first.
What this is not
This is not a promise of an “AI job.” This is not permission to outsource thinking the school still has to mark. This is not a personality cult around a vendor. If the output cannot be verified, it does not ship.
Join the waitlist. If you want the mindset layer first, book a live day.
Questions about AI literacy
Is this a ChatGPT course that will rot in six months?
No. Models change. The skill that survives is knowing when a machine is drafting, when it is lying confidently, and when you still have to think. We throw tools out when they rot.
Will you teach learners to cheat on schoolwork?
No. School honour codes are part of the brief. We teach brief-the-tool, interrogate-the-output, then decide — including when the honest move is to do the thinking yourself.
When does this actually open?
With the paid academy, not before. Join the waitlist. We will open the track when the teaching is ready to stand on, not as a hollow membership.
