We’re excited to introduce Build Club Campus - the new home for practical AI learning at Build Club.Campus is our virtual AI school for individuals, teams and organisations who want to learn AI by actually using it. It brings together practical courses, certifications, project-based learning and role-specific pathways across the latest AI tools and workflows.<div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><img height="817" width="1456" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8RW8!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F37c35c48-f525-49e5-8337-b04c597a3d65_1892x1062.png"></figure></div>If you have joined one of our workshops, academies, accelerators or enterprise programs, you have probably already seen parts of Campus in action. This update brings that learning experience into one platform.You can explore Campus here: <a href="https://campus.buildclub.ai/">https://campus.buildclub.ai/</a>Watch the launch video here<div class="video-embed"><iframe loading="lazy" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="true" height="409" width="728" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/KBv1B3WDeXc?rel=0&autoplay=0&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=0"></iframe></div><h2>What’s new</h2>Campus gives learners a structured place to learn AI tools, build real projects and get certified.Inside Campus, learners can:<ul><li>Take practical AI courses</li><li>Learn how to use tools like Manus, OpenAI, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and other frontier AI products</li><li>Follow role-based learning pathways</li><li>Complete hands-on projects</li><li>Earn certifications</li><li>Track progress across programs and teams</li></ul>The goal is to make AI learning less scattered and more applied.Instead of jumping between tutorials, social media threads and one-off workshops, Campus gives people a clear place to keep learning as AI changes.<h2>Why we built it</h2>AI tools are becoming more powerful every week, but most people are still learning them in a very fragmented way.Some people are experimenting on their own. Some are watching short tutorials. Some are attending one-off workshops. Some are using ChatGPT or Claude at work, but are not sure how to go deeper.We built Campus to make practical AI learning more accessible and structured.At Build Club, we have always believed that building beats theory. The fastest way to understand AI is not just to read about it, but to use it to make something real.Campus turns that belief into a product.As Annie Liao, Founder of Build Club, puts it:“AI should not be something only technical people or people in San Francisco know how to use. Campus is about giving people a place to learn by doing. You can take courses, build projects, get certified and actually understand how these tools apply to your work.”<h2>How Campus works</h2>Campus is built around three core learning loops.<div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><img height="1136" width="1456" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!A749!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F53bb4b7d-78e4-49ac-826f-28d9ec29b3b8_1878x1465.png"></figure></div><h3>1. Learn the tools</h3>Campus includes practical courses that help learners understand what AI tools can do and how to use them effectively.Courses are designed to be beginner-friendly, practical and connected to real workplace use cases. They cover workflows across areas like marketing, sales, operations, product, consulting, finance, leadership and more.<h3>2. Build real projects</h3>Every course is designed to move learners from watching to doing.Learners can apply what they learn through hands-on projects, workflows and use cases. This might include building an AI research assistant, creating a marketing workflow, automating a business process, analysing data or prototyping a new idea.The point is not just to learn what AI is. The point is to learn what you can do with it.<h3>3. Get certified</h3>Campus includes milestones and certifications so learners can show applied AI capability.We believe AI education should recognise practical skills, not just passive course completion. A Campus certification is designed to show that someone has learned the tool, applied it and built something with it.<h2>Where Campus is already being used</h2>Campus is already powering learning experiences across Build Club’s programs, including:<ul><li>Enterprise AI training</li><li>Partner academies</li><li>Community programs</li><li>Accelerators</li><li>Certification programs</li><li>The Women in AI Accelerator</li></ul>One participant from the Women in AI Accelerator shared:“After the first meeting I was like, ‘I don’t know if that’s for me’ - but then I had a work idea and created a project. After the first workshop I was on fire and created a second project. I’m really excited about it.”That is the kind of learning moment Campus is designed to create.We want more people to go from unsure or curious to confident and building.<h2>For teams and organisations</h2>Campus is also designed for companies rolling out AI education internally.Teams can use Campus to:<ul><li>Train employees on AI tools</li><li>Create role-specific learning pathways</li><li>Support AI champions</li><li>Run internal AI upskilling programs</li><li>Track learning progress</li><li>Connect training to real workplace use cases</li></ul>As more companies adopt tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Manus and other AI products, the challenge is no longer just access. It is enablement.People need to understand how these tools apply to their work, where they are useful, how to use them safely and how to build confidence through practice.Campus gives teams a way to do that at scale.<h2>What’s next</h2>Campus will continue to expand with more courses, certifications, partner academies and role-based pathways.We’ll keep adding learning experiences across the tools and workflows shaping the future of work, with the same Build Club focus: practical, project-based and community-led.Build Club started as a place for people who wanted to build with AI. Campus brings that same spirit into a product anyone can use.Explore Campus here: <a href="https://campus.buildclub.ai/">https://campus.buildclub.ai/</a>
