WHY 2SKILLS ?

AI can answer almost anything. It can't tell you which questions are worth asking. That's why 2Skills teaches two skills, in this order.

  • 01

    ASK BETTER QUESTIONS

    Before students use AI, they learn how to define the problem. What is happening? Who is affected? What needs to change?

  • 02

    USE AI WITH PURPOSE

    Students learn how to use AI as a thinking partner, not a shortcut. They explore prompts, tools, and workflows that help them reason through ideas.

  • 03

    BUILD REAL PROJECTS

    Learning becomes meaningful when students create something. 2Skills helps students turn ideas into projects they can explain, test, and improve.

2Skills combines guided learning, creative exploration, and real-world problem-solving. Instead of memorizing tools, students learn how to think through challenges step by step.

Ethics

 Knowing when to use AI, and when not to

Safety

Protecting your own privacy and other people's

Two skills

Finding the problem worth solving, then using AI well to solve it.

Real-world problem-solving

Working on real problems from students' own communities.

what students leave with

At the end of the program we ensure our students leave with the best so they are equipped with all they need to get started

Protect Privacy

  • A certificate on completion

  • Something they built and can explain

Skills

  • A problem worth solving: a real problem from their own community, clearly defined

  • Prompting with purpose: a repeatable way to write a prompt, and the habit of checking what comes back

  • Knowing which AI is which: AI that predicts and AI that creates, and when to use each

  • Skills that last: an approach that works with whatever AI tool comes next

Mindset

  • A deeper understanding of AI safety and ethics

  • A responsible approach to using AI, including whether to use it at all
