Five evenings.
Five pillars.
Go beneath the surface of AI.

A hands-on week for teachers and leaders. Each evening takes one pillar of DEEP's work, Teach, Think, Build, Learn or Lead, and gets the basic setup working live. Ninety minutes to get it working. A pack to take it further.

  • Live on Zoom
  • 6:00–7:30pm GST · Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4)
  • 90 minutes each
  • Recorded · resources pack
$10 a session · all five for $40

How the evenings work

Active, hands-on, and genuinely useful.

See the finished thing first, get the basic setup working, try it with a small group, then leave with a pack that carries the real work.

Every night, four moves
01

Guided setup

See the finished version first, then get the minimum version working on your own laptop with a clear route through.

02

A pack to go further

Leave with five to ten next steps, worked examples and templates that carry the real work beyond the call.

03

Breakout rooms

Try it, compare and get unstuck in small groups with educators using the same AI tool as you.

04

Bring your own AI

Use a free account with ChatGPT, Claude or Google AI Studio. We teach the transferable method, not one interface.

What you'll need

Come as you are. The bar is deliberately low.

  • A laptop, not just a tablet or phone
  • A free account with ChatGPT, Claude or Google AI Studio
  • 90 minutes and something real you are working on
  • No coding and no prior AI experience
Who it's for

Written for the classroom, not the conference stage.

Classroom teachers

Any subject, any phase. Bring a real lesson or a real problem.

School leaders & SLT

Position, practice and the questions your staff are already asking.

International & independent schools

Evening timing built around GST and an international school week.

Anyone curious

Sceptics welcome. We go on evidence, not enthusiasm.

Choose your route

Start with the work closest to you.

Every evening still stands alone at $10. These routes simply gather the sessions that fit the same role, so you do not have to assemble a plan from scratch.

For teachers

Classroom practice

Plan with AI, build a useful classroom tool and design learning that resists shortcuts.

Questions

Before you reserve.

No. Every session is recorded and shared with its pack the following morning, so you can catch up in your own time. Live is where the guided setup and breakout rooms happen, so come along when you can.

Sessions run at 18:00 GST in Dubai, 15:00 BST in UK, 19:00 GMT+5 in Karachi, 22:00 GMT+8 in Singapore, 10:00 GMT-4 in US Eastern, 07:00 GMT-7 in US Pacific.

A laptop and a free account with ChatGPT, Claude or Google AI Studio. That is genuinely it: no coding, no prior AI experience and no special software.

Yes. The full week is $40 a person, and group and whole-staff rates are available. Email education@deepprofessional.com and we will arrange it.

Your personal Zoom joining links and calendar invites for only the evenings you buy arrive by email after payment.

Of course. Take any single evening for $10, build your own week, or take all five for $40. If you choose four, the fifth is added free.
