Three Acres three acres / ai
VOL. 01 · NO. 1A Three Acres workshop

Bring an idea.
Leave with something real.

A hands-on session where you sit down with AI and build a website, a tool, a game or an automation that solves a real problem — guided the whole way. No prior coding required. Just curiosity and a laptop.

§ 01 — The premise

An unfair advantage you can actually use.

AI didn't replace the work — it changed who gets to do it. You can now build the thing you've been describing to friends for years. We'll show you how, and then we'll sit beside you while you do it. This isn't a lecture; it's a working session. By the end you'll have shipped something. Probably ugly. Definitely yours.

§ 02 — The session

What you'll walk away with.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

For business owners & teams

Business owners, freelancers, ops people — anyone who wrangles spreadsheets on a Sunday night.

  • A focus on websites, web apps, and spreadsheet, CSV & email automations
  • Build a site or tool you'd actually use Monday morning
  • A real working session — hands-on help on tap while you build
  • One-pager: “10 things to try this week”
  • Follow-up Q&A email — ask anything for 30 days
§ 03 — How a session flows

Tight, generous, honest.

Welcome
Welcome & warm-up
Quick intros — your name and one sentence on what you want to build. We make sure everyone's AI tools are actually running before we dive in.
The idea
What is AI, really?
The mental model — what AI is great at, what it's bad at. Live demos: a website, a small web app, a spreadsheet clean-up, each built in a few minutes flat.
Build
Hands on keys
You work on your own project; we float and help. Plan it, build a first version, iterate, polish. The point is shipping, not perfection.
Show & tell
Show what you made
Whoever wants to, demos what they built. We celebrate ugly prototypes — that's the whole point.
What's next
Where to go from here
How to keep building at home, plus the community office hours and events where you can keep the momentum going.
§ 04 — Before you arrive

Three things, the day before.

Subscribe to Claude Pro — the day before

$20 USD/month at claude.ai. Subscribing the day before means a full 30 days of access after the workshop to keep building. Cancel anytime. Library may cover this for youth — ask us.

03

Bring one idea

A single sentence: “I want to build ___.” Stuck? Tell us what you do for work or fun and we'll send back three ideas worth trying.

Like the sound of it?

This one isn't scheduled yet — we're gauging interest. Tell us you're keen and roughly what you'd want to build, and we'll be in touch when a date is set.
