AI Summer School: The 2-Week AI Catch-Up Crash Course
Two sessions. Everything you missed. Everything you need to start using AI at work.
AI is moving fast. If you feel behind, you're not alone, and this is how you catch up for good. AI Summer School is your all-in-one crash course, presented by HuCapital and Studio by Rita. In two focused sessions, you'll get grounded in AI fundamentals, learn to vibe code your own products, and build AI agents that work for you, walking away with the frameworks and hands-on support to actually implement it, not just talk about it.
