A 2-Day Discovery Piscine to Explore AI by Doing
The Discovery Piscine “AI Fundamentals for All” is a fun, hands-on, two-day immersion designed to help you understand artificial intelligence by actually using it. Over two intensive days, you’ll experiment with modern AI tools, learn how to write effective prompts, explore visual AI, and use generative AI to work smarter with spreadsheets and real-world tasks. You’ll collaborate with other participants throughout the experience, learning together in an active, beginner-friendly environment – no prior coding or AI experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
Test-Drive the Legendary 42 Learning Model
This Discovery Piscine gives you a firsthand taste of the learning philosophy behind 42, the alternative education program that began in Paris and has since grown into the largest tuition-free IT school network in the world, with more than 50 campuses across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Based on the 42 learning model – no traditional classes, no teachers, just peer-driven, project-based challenges – the Discovery Piscine offers a low-commitment way to experience an internationally recognized approach to learning and decide whether the 42 way is right for you.
