The next AI Upskilling cohort starts next week, and there are only a few spots left. ๐Ÿ’ก

In this video, Fidgetech AI Instructor Shy-lee talks about what students can build over 12 weeks: productivity tools, interactive games, community platforms, and more.

Fidgetech's programs are designed for adults on the autism spectrum and the wider neurodivergent community. That means small classes, flexible pacing, and instructors trained to teach this way. It's not an add-on. It's how the whole program is built.

No tech background required. Just curiosity and a willingness to show up. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Classes are kept small on purpose, so once they're full, they're full. Sign up before next week!

What do you actually walk away with after 12 weeks in Fidgetech's AI Upskilling program? Our lead AI instructor Shy-lee breaks it down ๐Ÿ‘‡

You'll build no-code apps (no coding background needed), create design and research projects using AI tools, and finish with a portfolio of real work you made yourself. Not sample projects. Your projects. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

The program is designed for adults experiencing autism, and open to the wider neurodivergent community. Small classes, pacing that gives you room to actually focus, and instructors who get how you learn.

AI is changing who gets to build things and solve problems in tech. This program makes sure you're part of that. โœจ

Fidgetech was founded for a specific reason: adults experiencing autism deserve tech education designed around how they actually learn. ๐ŸŽฏ

Not a mainstream program with accommodations bolted on. The pace, the teaching style, the environment, the support structure. All of it. ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

This free workshop on April 7 comes from that same foundation. ๐ŸŒฑ You'll build a working app prototype in 60 minutes using vibe coding, guided step by step by instructors trained to meet you where you are. ๐Ÿ’ป

We built this for adults experiencing autism. We also welcome all neurodivergent adults who want a learning environment that was designed with intention, not as an afterthought. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿค

100% free. Live at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET. ๐Ÿ•”

You know that app idea you've had sitting in the back of your head? ๐Ÿ’ก The one you figured you'd need a developer to build?

You don't.

It's called vibe coding. ๐ŸŒŠ You describe what you want in plain language, AI builds it, and you refine it by talking to it. No syntax. No tutorials. No prior experience.

Fidgetech is a nonprofit built for adults experiencing autism, and on April 7 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET, we're hosting a free live workshop open to the wider the neurodivergent community where you'll go from idea to working prototype in 60 minutes. โฑ๏ธ Our instructors are trained to teach the way you learn, at a pace that actually works.

All you need is a laptop, a web browser, and an idea. ๐Ÿ’ป

Vibe coding is the fastest-growing way to build with AI, and it's still early enough that learning it now puts you ahead. ๐Ÿ“ˆ This workshop was designed so neurodivergent adults get to be the ones leading that wave, not catching up to it. ๐Ÿ„

100% free. No credit card. Spots are limited. ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ
