What our learners have to say...
As someone with a fairly solid grasp of technology, I found the course to be a practical and insightful.
Jam was an excellent tutor. Clear, approachable, and professional. She took the time to answer questions thoughtfully and created an environment where participants could engage comfortably at different levels of experience. Her delivery made what could have been an overwhelming topic feel structured and manageable.
It was truly mind-blowing!
Thanks to Jam’s teaching, my understanding and use of AI tools has reached a whole new level!
You are one of the great practical person that I know. I really appreciate your passion, knowledge and energy with your classes.
The ongoing support and structured check-ins with an amazing group of peers have helped me to tackle the difficult work, step-by-step, week after week. The Lab is a place of nourishment and of connection with people whom you can root for.
Thank you Jam for your generosity, your expertise, and for getting this out there. This is a game-changer.
