Frequently Asked Questions

Who can access this course? +
This course is exclusively for students enrolled in the Endless Opportunities program. If you're part of the program, your coordinator will provide access credentials. If you're interested in joining, contact Endless Opportunities directly.
Do I need any prior experience? +
No prior coding or AI experience needed! All you need is curiosity and a willingness to ask questions. We'll teach you everything from scratch. A laptop with internet access is required.
What is "6 Levels Deep"? +
It's our framework for deep understanding. Instead of accepting surface-level answers, you keep asking "why?" at least 6 times to get to the root of any topic. Most people stop at 1-2 levels. Going 6 levels deep puts you ahead of 99% of people in understanding.
What tools will I learn? +
You'll master ChatGPT for questioning and exploration, and Cursor AI for building real websites and tools. You'll also learn to use GitHub for sharing your work. All tools have free tiers to get started.
Will I actually build real things? +
Yes! By the end of the course, you'll have built multiple interactive websites and tools that actually work. You don't need to know how to code - you describe what you want, and Cursor AI helps you build it. Your projects will be live on the internet for anyone to see.
How is the course delivered? +
The program includes weekly 2-hour live sessions plus self-paced online content, hands-on projects, and community support. You'll work on real problems and build real solutions throughout the program.
