AI Literacy & Computational Logic
Demystifying how computers 'think' — from binary physics to ethical reasoning.

Course Overview
This foundational course strips away the mysticism around artificial intelligence and replaces it with clear, structured logic. You will learn how computers encode information — from the binary switches that form every pixel on your screen to the character sets that represent every letter you type. You'll write your first lines of Python code, build decision trees from scratch, and confront the ethical questions that emerge when machines start making decisions that affect people's lives. By the end, you won't just use AI — you'll understand what it actually is.
