​This free, community-driven AI Upskilling Cohort will launch in August 2025, with introductory workshops kicking off this July.

Overview:

​60-min Intro Workshop: Join Ramzi Nahawi to learn about the landscape of no-code and AI tools that non-technical builders can use to create functional apps that can solve real problems in both your work & personal life.
​30-min hands-on practice: You'll break into small groups to put together an initial prototype of an app using a recommended set of AI tools.

​Ramzi Nahawi is a product design leader with over a decade of experience at Bubble, HubSpot, and Fjord. He specializes in creating intuitive user experiences that solve real problems and drive business results. At Bubble, he helps non-technical users build powerful software and bring their ideas to life online.
