AI Literacy Masterclass №1 — When Computational Thinking Slows You Down
You're invited to a 90-minute masterclass on June 3 at Index, and it works two ways: as a complete evening on its own, and as your introduction to the full quarterly elective if you'd like to continue.
This session is for anyone who already uses AI tools — at work, in a creative practice, in everyday life — and wants to think more carefully about how. You don't need a technical background. You don't need to already know what computational thinking means. We'll build that vocabulary together.
Most of what's said about AI is about speed: how much faster you can move, how many more things you can produce. That's real, and it matters. But there's a quieter, more useful application that gets less attention. Computational thinking can slow you down in exactly the places where slowing down pays off. It can help you name what you actually want before you ask for it. It can surface assumptions you didn't know you were making. It can hold a question open long enough for you to genuinely answer it.
In our 90 minutes together, we'll:
Work through concrete examples of computational thinking as a thinking aid, not an answer machine
Practice prompts and patterns that build clarity instead of collapsing it
Discuss where this approach is most useful in your own work
Leave with a small set of moves you can take into your next AI-assisted task
Price: $100, applied toward the $500 fee if you continue with the full elective

The full AI Literacy elective runs across the quarter and goes deeper into prompt design, computational thinking as a practice, and using AI as a developmental tool rather than a productivity one.
