AI Builder Bootcamp for Educators
Build AI-powered educational tools using no-code and low-code platforms, creating functional apps from ideation to implementation.
About the course
Learn to build real-world education tools using AI, no-code, and low-code platforms, even if you've never built an app before. Ready to move beyond prompting and start building? This hands-on course is designed for educators who want to turn ideas into working AI-powered tools. Whether it's a classroom landing page, a task tracker, or a full-featured app, you'll walk through Megan's complete workflow from ideation to implementation using platforms like Lovable, Bolt, and VS Code. No prior coding experience required. By the end of the course, you'll have shipped multiple mini-projects and a final app of your own design.
How it works
You will join a group of 2 to 5 colleagues, and as a group, you will meet 4 times, either in person or online, at a time you all agree on.
