Executive and Professional Education to Shape Curious Future-Ready Leaders

AI literacy is becoming a basic professional skill. This free, self-paced lab from Caltech CTME gives you a structured, guided path through the AI tools people actually use — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, NotebookLM and Perplexity — for writing, research, design, and everyday work.

You will start with how these tools work and how to prompt them well, then go as far as building your own AI assistant and connecting AI to the applications you already use. Real prompts, real exercises, real work products. No prior experience with AI or programming is required.

Most developers use AI as enhanced autocomplete. This lab is about something more durable: designing and implementing an agentic workflow that can reason, plan, and act within a structured code environment.

In this half-day, live, instructor-led lab, you will build a functioning AI workflow agent using Claude Code. Working in a small group, with expert coaching and real-time feedback, you will move from configuration to architecture to integration—using realistic repositories and applied use cases rather than isolated demos.

AI for Project Management is here: in this 16-hour, hands-on workshop, project managers learn to apply generative AI and AI assistants to planning, scheduling, risk, cost, and communications—safely and without coding. This course goes beyond prompting: you will learn where today's models fail and how to catch it, build reusable AI workspaces with projects and skills, run AI deep research, and apply the latest findings on working productively, and growing, alongside AI. Participants can work in Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot; live demonstrations use Claude. Leave with reusable prompts, ready-to-use templates, and lightweight automations for your real projects.
