Start here

No CS degree required. Pick the track that fits where you are — most people move through all three. Then browse the curated resources below — the same shelves we point members to in chat.

track 1 · curious

Never built with AI before? Come to a weekly talk, watch a past recording, and start with prompting well. You'll be building a simple agent sooner than you think.

track 2 · builder

Can code a little? Take a wedge of a real problem, use our open agents as a template, and ship something small for 20 real users. Pair with a domain expert from the community.

track 3 · researcher

Bring a research question. Especially in biology and health — our life-sciences members and diaspora mentors are the whole point. See the portfolio for what that looks like.

ls learn/resources/ --by section

Curated resources

Hand-picked, not a dump. Sections grow as we find things worth your time — prompting, imagination, life sciences, hardware, design, theory.
