Grow your knowledge. Build your skills.
Recent graduates, career-switchers, founders, professionals, educators and curious learners are welcome. Learn at your own pace. You do not need a certificate, a compulsory project log or a finished idea to start.
For educators and community leaders
Choose the package that fits your teaching:
Big Lever Institute Curriculum for Educators — practical AI lessons, exercises, teaching resources and complete examples. Use or adapt the lessons without installing our guides. Teaching-use license.
Big Lever Institute AI Guide Kit for Educators — Guide Me, Your Learning Path, their instructions and a recipe for adapting both guides to your own teaching material, using one shared curriculum. Teaching-use license · Current Guide Kit release.
Both packages are free to adapt and share for teaching, including ordinary paid teaching and tuition-funded classes. Keep attribution, identify changes and retain the applicable license notices. The teaching-use grant does not permit repackaging for sale or charging specifically for access to covered materials. Learners may use their own work professionally and commercially.
Prior CC BY rights in unchanged curriculum remain valid regardless of which copy is used. Separately MIT-licensed verification tools retain their terms. Read the linked licenses for the full permissions. No Skool membership is needed to read either public repository.
