Our modules follow a no-AI-first approach. Students complete each activity independently before gaining access to a second stage where they engage with AI directly.

Students will follow the same format for the deductive logic module, after mastering techniques of deductive logic in a no-AI section, students will unlock the next section where they will evaluate LLM in the context of deductive logic.
