FAQs

Still have questions?

Do I need coding or AI experience?

Prior experience in coding or AI can be beneficial, but it is not required. A portion of our learners come from non-technical backgrounds. We offer beginner-friendly SPOCs and PBLs, along with mentor support, to help students build the necessary foundations while engaging in real AI+X projects.

What if I don’t have a clear goal yet?

That’s completely fine. Your mentor will help you explore your interests, try different AI+X fields, and gradually define your direction.

Can I apply as a first-year student or a non-STEM major?

Yes. We believe AI is, or will soon be, relevant to every field. What matters most is your curiosity, willingness to learn, and commitment to grow, regardless of your year or academic background.

When does my plan begin?

Your plan begins when you start your first SPOC or PBL—not on the date of tuition payment.

How many PBLs can I complete in 6 months?

Most learners complete 2 to 4 PBLs in a 6-month plan, depending on your schedule and pace.

Can I work on multiple projects at the same time?

Yes. "Unlimited" means you're free to structure your learning in the way that works best for you. You can participate in multiple PBL projects in parallel, as long as you can manage your time effectively within your active learning plan.

Is “Validate Your Work” included in the plan?

Validate Your Work sessions are fully included in the 12-month plans.

What is a PBL Evaluation Report?

It’s an optional project evaluation available upon request, provided that your work meets expectations.
 It can serve as a recommendation letter for school or job applications.

What will I receive upon completion?

You’ll receive certificates, a public portfolio , recommendation submissions, and full access to our AI+X Global Talent Community.

Can I join PBLs on my own timeline?

Yes. You can use your “MyDashboard“ to choose project start dates that work for you.

What if I need to pause during my plan?

You may take breaks between PBLs if needed, as long as all learning is completed within your active plan period.

What if I’m in a different time zone or have a busy schedule?

Our programs are designed for flexibility. Most SPOC content is asynchronous, and many PBL meetings offer multiple scheduling options. You'll coordinate directly with your project team and mentor to find times that work for everyone.

Does the plan cover my housing and travel expenses for the on-campus experience?

Program fees do not include housing or travel. For full details about logistics, costs, and support options, please refer to the On-Campus Experience FAQs.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. We offer installment options depending on your location and payment method. Please contact your Program Advisor for more details.

Can I upgrade my plan later?

Yes. You can start with the Month-to-Month Plan and upgrade to a 6-month or 12-month plan as your needs and goals evolve.
