14-Day AI Side-Hustle Challenge
A practical 14-day challenge that teaches learners how to use AI-assisted design tools to create social graphics, flyers, ad creatives, thumbnails, brand concepts, mockups, campaign assets, and a starter portfolio they can package and sell.
This course is built around creation rather than passive theory. Every day has one short READ lesson and one INTERACTIVE lesson where learners use ChatGPT, Gemini, Canva, Adobe Firefly or similar tools to produce a real design output. Learners progress from creative briefs and visual prompting to social media packs, campaign assets, portfolio building, service packaging, and client outreach.
