Polygence Presents: Build with AI (Without Losing Your Brain): The Smart Student's Guide to AI

June 13th at 11 am Pacific, 2 pm Eastern

AI can help you build faster, but only if you know how to stay in control. In this workshop, you’ll see real examples of “vibe coding” in action, from light AI support to fully integrated AI workflows, and learn how to actually read, question, and improve what AI gives you. You’ll leave knowing how to use AI to speed up your coding without sacrificing understanding, or getting stuck later when things break.

Beyond the tools, we’ll get real about what AI means for your future: which skills still matter, how to stand out in college admissions, and how to build projects that are genuinely yours. By the end, you’ll know how to use AI as a powerful assistant—not a crutch—and how to create work you’re actually proud of.
