Learning Tracks & Modules

Master frontier technologies and AI step-by-step.

Built for professionals with no coding background. Pick the track closest to your working life, and every lesson, exercise and example follows that reality — from your first prompt to an autonomous agent you can actually put to work.

Step 01

Choose your track

Four personas, one curriculum. Select a track to see how each module lands in your world.

What we solve for you
  • Repetitive inquiry emails
  • Bespoke styling proposals
  • Vendor timeline tracking
  • Dietary and budget constraints
How your track plays out
Prompting
Turn fragmented consultation notes into styled mood board descriptions and tone-calibrated venue emails.
Mini-apps you build
A client budget estimator and a vendor checklist generator.
Agents and MCP
An intake agent connecting client forms to Drive or Airtable to draft tailored proposals and check vendor availability.

Step 02

Six stages, prompt writer to automation architect

Examples below are written for the Creative & Retail Professionals track. Modules 01 and 02 are open to everyone; the rest unlock as the platform opens.

Module 01
Open access

Mental Models & Foundations

Tokenisation, temperature, hallucination, context windows, few-shot prompting.

Hands-on detail
Exercise

In-browser prompt playground with temperature and context-limit dials.

In your track

Draft client tone variants for the same enquiry.

Module 02
Open access

Structured Prompts & System Roles

System versus user prompts, markdown output, JSON schemas, role conditioning.

Hands-on detail
Exercise

Build reusable system prompts with strict output rules.

In your track

JSON output for vendor bookings.

Module 03

Building Simple Mini-Apps

Binding an interface to a model, dynamic input variables, chained prompts.

Hands-on detail
Exercise

Assemble a single-purpose interactive web tool.

In your track

Client budget calculator.

Module 04
Unlocks later

Custom Skills & Domain Knowledge

Retrieval-augmented generation, vector context, chunking, system boundaries.

Hands-on detail
Exercise

Upload sample knowledge bases and tune retrieval accuracy.

In your track

Vendor price sheet library.

Module 05
Unlocks later

Autonomous Agents & Tool Calling

Function calling, tool schemas, agent decision loops, error recovery.

Hands-on detail
Exercise

Wire an agent with simulated tools: send_email, query_db, calculator.

In your track

Lead qualifier and email dispatcher.

Module 06
Unlocks later

Model Context Protocol & Workflows

MCP architecture, multi-system connectors, orchestration.

Hands-on detail
Exercise

Simulate an MCP server connection bridging a model to external apps.

In your track

Connect CRM to a shared calendar.

Step 03

Practice in the browser, nothing to install

No keys, no local setup. Three practice environments carry you through the six modules.

Modules 01–02

Prompt Playground

System prompt, model choice, temperature and top-p on the left; your variables in the centre; streamed response, token usage and latency on the right — with overlays explaining why a prompt worked or failed.

Modules 03–05

Agent & Tool Harness

Simulated tools for database queries, notifications, financial calculations and calendar lookups, with a step-through trace of thought, action, observation and final response.

Module 06

MCP Visualiser

Host, client, server and data source laid out visually, with a toggle that simulates a resource read or tool execution and shows the messages passed back and forth.

Step 04

Finish by shipping something real

Your capstone

A working lead capture and quote generation app, deployed online.

What you submit
  • A live web app or tool URL
  • A two to three minute demo video
  • A short architecture and prompt reflection
How it is assessed
  • Prompt robustness30%
  • Tool integration and utility30%
  • Interface simplicity20%
  • Guardrails and error handling20%

Pass and you receive a certificate, plus a build you can take straight into a Decoding Studio hackathon.
