CBT Skills

A working understanding of mathematics — the universal language scientists, engineers, and quants use to describe the world. The trunk gives you the throughline from how mathematicians think to how math models reality; clusters dive into proof, trig, calculus mechanics, advanced linear algebra, number theory and cryptography, probability, stochastic processes, and the foundational limits of math itself.

A beginner-friendly curriculum that builds deep intuition for how AI actually works — not through math or code, but through mental models that make effective use a natural consequence of understanding. Covers how language models think, why they hallucinate, the art of prompting, practical AI workflows for writing, images, and code, and the societal shifts AI is driving. Designed for anyone curious enough to want more than tips and tricks.

A comprehensive, 3-pillar curriculum that builds durable understanding of artificial intelligence and machine learning — from the mathematical foundations and classical algorithms, through modern deep learning architectures, to the societal implications of deploying AI in the real world. Emphasizes timeless principles over transient tools so knowledge remains valuable as the field evolves.

A working understanding of how music is built — the twelve-note system, intervals, scales, keys, chords, harmony, rhythm, and form. The trunk gives you the complete map from a single note to a finished song; clusters dive deep into modes, the circle of fifths, chord construction, progressions, rhythm, melody, and form.

A working understanding of blockchain and Web3 — what these systems actually are, why they were built, and how the pieces (wallets, consensus, smart contracts, tokens, DeFi, NFTs, DAOs) fit together. The trunk gives you the orientation to follow any crypto conversation; clusters dive into cryptography, custody, consensus, smart-contract engineering, DeFi mechanics, NFTs/DAOs, and building dApps.

A working understanding of how the brain actually works at the level of mechanism — neurons firing, chemicals crossing synapses, regions specializing, circuits adapting. The trunk takes you from a single cell's electrical signal up through brain anatomy, sensation, movement, plasticity, memory, sleep, and emotion; clusters dive into molecular signaling, the neurochemical systems, sensory neuroscience, plasticity and repair, the cognitive brain, the diseased brain, and the tools that let us see any of it.
