Meet the tech behind ChatGPT and hurricane forecasting: neural networks. Play gradient descent as a 3D game. Train a real network in your browser. Then the final assignment: predict the World Cup final and tomorrow's weather.

Adrian Dunkley, the Caribbean's top AI builder, has spent 15+ years building AI companies on exactly what you are about to learn. His challenge to you this week is blunt: anyone can USE AI, but the Caribbean needs people who can BUILD it. Finish this course and you will have trained a real deep learning model with your own hands, twice. He is watching the final assignment leaderboard. Impress him.
Every idea is built from plain numbers before any code appears. Did Week 2 or 3? You are more than ready. New here? You can still start.
Compute what a neuron outputs: weighted sum, bias, activation.
Explain gradient descent and pick a sensible learning rate, because you played it.
Know when to reach for a CNN (images) vs an LSTM (sequences like weather).
Read a loss curve and spot overfitting before it burns you.
Train real models in Keras on Google Colab, free, on your phone or any computer.
Submit real predictions for the World Cup final and tomorrow's weather, and earn a tracked certificate + 250 XP.
Lessons unlock one at a time as you finish them, so start at the top. Your place is saved.
Neurons, weights, and layers. Drive a real neuron with sliders.
Play Gradient Hill: roll a ball down a 3D loss landscape and feel why learning rates matter.
CNNs see. LSTMs remember. Slide a real filter and play with a memory cell.
Press Train. Watch a real network learn Kingston temperatures, live in your browser.
Train two real models in Colab, submit both predictions, and hit the leaderboard.
15 questions, then download or print your Deep Learning certificate.
On Sunday, July 19, 2026 the World Cup final kicks off. Your deep learning model predicts the winner and the score, BEFORE kickoff. Same week, your second model predicts tomorrow's maximum temperature in your capital city. Submit both in Lesson 5. When reality arrives, we check the leaderboard. This is exactly how real forecasters live: model, predict, get judged by reality. Welcome to the big leagues.
Week 6, Generative AI, closes the course: transformers, attention, diffusion, prompt engineering, and ethics. Then the grand finale for both age groups: the AI Solution Challenge.
