Critical thinking in the age of AI
This session helps you understand how to use AI for learning without losing your independence, with a focus on judging the quality of answers, verifying them and thinking critically.
Four sessions on using AI wisely for learning, so AI helps you think rather than doing the thinking for you. Critical thinking, Copilot for studying, fact‑checking in the browser and a first AI project of your own.
“informative and interesting, highly recommend!”
“I like the practical knowledge backed up with an example instead of dry theory, and the simple language.”
“The session confirmed a lot of my suspicions about using AI. (…) My questions to AI will definitely be much better now. The knowledge was shared in a really pleasant and easy-to-understand way :D”
“Excellent! I wish I had a teacher as good as Mr. Robert.”
Four hands-on sessions that gave you a compass for using AI in your learning while keeping your independence and respecting your own thinking. The finale: a working mini‑project of your own.
How to use AI for learning without switching off your own brain: judging the quality of answers, verifying them, thinking critically.
Finding information, organizing notes, presentations, working with data: everyday tasks, done faster and better.
