Cryptocurrency: Blockchain, Bitcoin, and Stablecoins

Bitcoin was the first of many cryptocurrencies. It’s based on some cryptographic concepts and a technology called blockchain. The first lecture will discuss what cryptocurrencies are and their possible advantages and disadvantages, using bitcoin as an example. It will describe the underlying technology in a very elementary way, and it will be a repeat of a class that the instructor gave before. The second lecture will extend this discussion to stablecoins and Ethereum, a cryptocurrency with some features that bitcoin doesn’t have. This will NOT be an investment seminar or a “how to” seminar. The instructor finds the technology and the economics of cryptocurrency to be very interesting, but he has not invested in any cryptocurrency and has no intention of doing so.

• Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how we work, create, and solve problems—but most people only scratch the surface. This course demystifies AI and shows how to use tools like ChatGPT in practical, real-world scenarios. Students will learn how AI actually works (at a high level), how to prompt effectively, and how to apply it across business, personal productivity, and creative projects. Each session includes live demonstrations, hands-on examples, and actionable frameworks. By the end, participants will confidently use AI to automate tasks, generate ideas, and gain a competitive edge in everyday life.

  This course is designed for non-technical professionals, entrepreneurs, and curious learners who want to actually use AI—not just hear about it.

  Each session builds progressively:

  Week 1: AI Foundations (No Hype)

  What AI is (and isn't)
  How tools like ChatGPT actually work
  Where people get it wrong

  Week 2: Prompting & Practical Use

  How to talk to AI effectively
  Real examples: emails, business ideas, problem solving
  Live prompt engineering exercises

  Week 3: Automation & Leverage

  Using AI to save hours per week
  Combining tools (AI + workflows)
  Real-world business and personal use cases

  Week 4: Advanced Use & Future Positioning

  Building lightweight AI-powered solutions
  Risks, limitations, and ethical considerations
  How to stay ahead as AI evolves

  The class is interactive, practical, and immediately applicable.

• Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of Artificial Intelligence that can create a wide variety of data, such as images, videos, audio, text, and 3D models. It does this by learning patterns from existing data, then using this knowledge to generate new and unique outputs. GenAI is capable of producing highly realistic and complex content that mimics human creativity, making it a valuable tool for many industries such as gaming, entertainment, and product design. Recent breakthroughs in the field, such as GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) and Midjourney, have significantly advanced the capabilities of GenAI.
