How We Teach AI at Colleges That Actually Translates to Income

Johns Hopkins University asked us to teach a semester on implementing AI for their students. It was a stunning success, and now other universities are coming to us with the same request. Here's the problem with most AI education: it stops at the definition. Students learn what a large language model is, take a multiple-choice test, and never build anything. We do the opposite. In our courses, students bring their laptops, deploy real AI agents, audit real businesses, and ship real results, usually within four to six weeks instead of four years. Dennis Yu has two degrees and has been teaching for decades. But when he's running ads and scaling brands like the Golden State Warriors, Nike, and Rosetta Stone, those companies never ask where he went to college. They care about the proof that he can drive results. The degrees are real, but they don't mean much without implementation, and that's the whole point of how we teach. Alongside Dennis are people like Dylan Haugen, who is 18 with hands-on AI implementation experience that almost no one has at his age. And he's not the exception. We've coached a lot of builders like this who now scale other companies on their own. A lot of these tools are only months old, so nobody has ten years of experience here. What matters is whether you can do the work. We run these as practicum courses: live implementation, real SOPs, and real businesses from our partner network for students to work on. The students who win try first and ask questions second. The ones who struggle wait for permission or hide behind "but what about" questions instead of starting. We built the courses around that. If you're a university administrator and your program isn't based on hands-on implementation, or you want it to be but don't have the private-sector connections to bring real businesses to your students, that's exactly what we provide.
