Build the Future.Share the Knowledge.
Learn AI in Atlanta. We run a free AI meetup every Tuesday, hands-on workshops twice a month, and an eight-week cohort that ends with a portfolio, a résumé, and a plan. No experience assumed. We teach every level.
Summer Cohort starts Saturday, July 18. Twenty seats. That's the whole room.

Summer 2026 Cohort
Eight Saturdays. Twenty seats. One room.
Eight weeks from now you could have a portfolio website, a résumé that matches your LinkedIn, and the skills to negotiate what you're worth. There's homework every week, and the room critiques it. That part is not optional, and it's the part that works.

Questions
The things people ask
Do I need any experience with AI or coding?
No. We teach every level, and most people arrive having only tried ChatGPT a few times. The cohort application asks where you're starting from — there are no wrong answers.
What does each thing cost?
Film Bar AI is free, every Tuesday. Parking is free too.
Workshop Wednesdays are free to attend. A $15 donation is suggested and entirely optional. Nobody is turned away.
The cohort is $800, paid in full when you apply.
Can I pay the cohort tuition in installments, or leave a deposit?
No. Tuition is $800 and must be paid in full — we don't take partial payments, and we don't hold seats with a deposit. You pay securely by card when you apply.
If that's a barrier, come to Film Bar AI on a Tuesday and talk to us in person.
Do I have to attend the workshops in order?
No. Every lesson stands alone. Join chronologically or sporadically — the curriculum compounds into a working portfolio either way.
What do I bring?
To Film Bar AI: yourself. A laptop if you feel like it.
To a Workshop Wednesday or a cohort session: a charged laptop.
Is there homework in the cohort?
Yes — every week, submitted at the start of each in-person session for peer critique and professional feedback. It's the part that works.
Will this get me a job?
We won't promise that, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. The cohort prepares you: you leave with a résumé, a matching LinkedIn, a portfolio website, negotiation skills, a contract toolkit, and interview prep for AI industry careers. What you do with them is yours.
How do I join the community?
The WhatsApp group is where the conversation lives between events, and there's a Facebook group too. Both are linked in the footer. Members can also sign in to the community site for resources, events, and the AI Maker Bot.
What if I miss a cohort Saturday?
The application asks. Missing one is workable; missing two or more means you'd get more out of the Winter cohort. Tell us honestly and we'll talk it through.
