986 Enterprise · Free drop-in classes
Free 90-minute classes for students — make a video, a song, a game, a website, an app, a spreadsheet that works for you, or a research workflow. Plus a track on how AI is really used inside the pharmaceutical industry.
One class. 90 minutes. Free. Nothing to enroll in and nothing to finish — come to the ones that interest you and skip the rest.
No cost. No prerequisites. Open to any college student in the San Gabriel Valley and greater Los Angeles. Can count for credit at your school — we handle the coordination.
What's on offer
Every class below is self-contained — no order to follow, no prerequisites, nothing to catch up on. Two tracks: things you can make with AI today, and how AI actually works inside one of the most data-dense corners of healthcare.
Walk in with an idea, walk out 90 minutes later with a finished thing you made.
Generate, cut, and finish a short video with AI — script to storyboard to export, including voiceover, subtitles, and where the tools still fall apart.
Make a track, clean up a recording, clone a voice responsibly, and produce a listenable podcast episode from a rough phone recording.
Build a small playable game start to finish — art, sound, and logic — and put it somewhere your friends can actually play it.
Go from a blank page to a real site on a real URL, and learn what to check before you trust code you didn't write.
Prototype a working phone app, get it running on your own device, and see what actually separates a demo from something you could ship.
Excel and Google Sheets with AI doing the tedious part — formulas, cleanup, pivots, and charts — on a messy real-world file.
Use AI for sourcing, summarizing, and drafting without hallucinated citations — plus how to check its work and stay on the right side of academic integrity.
Posters, logos, and product mockups. Prompting for a specific look, editing what you get, and keeping a consistent style across a set.
The one to start with if you're new. Why the same question gets wildly different answers, and how to get useful output on the first try.
How AI is genuinely used across the pharmaceutical industry — taught by the team that builds and runs it every day.
How a prescription actually moves — prescriber, pharmacy, PBM, payer, wholesaler — and where AI is genuinely useful versus where it's just a buzzword.
Claims, dispensing records, formularies, NDC and NPI identifiers. What the data looks like, why it's messy, and how it gets cleaned.
Adherence prediction, drug interaction checking, inventory forecasting, prior-authorization triage — one walked through end to end each time.
Where large language models help, where they fail, and how HIPAA, PHI handling, and auditability shape what you're allowed to build.
Hands-on and self-contained: take a realistic (synthetic) pharmacy dataset and leave in 90 minutes with a small working tool for your portfolio.
What these roles are actually called, what they pay, what a hiring manager looks for, and how to get in without a PharmD.
This list grows based on what students ask for. Tell us what you'd show up for and we'll put it on the schedule.
Credit & résumé
Every class hands you something you can put in front of an employer the same day. And because your school is the one that awards credit, we go to your school and set it up — career office and compliance office both. We've run student and internship programs this way before; we know what each of them needs to say yes.
Your name, the topic, the date, and 1.5 contact hours. Issued the same day, and we'll verify it for any employer or registrar who asks.
The video, game, site, app, spreadsheet or tool you made in class — yours to link from a résumé or portfolio.
We hand you the exact résumé and LinkedIn line for what you just did, so you're not guessing how to describe it.
We track your attendance. Reach six classes and we'll write you a signed letter listing every topic and hour — useful for applications and transfer files.

We work with your school directly
Tick the box on the sign-up form, or email us. That's the only step that's yours.
We work with the career or placement office to pick the pathway that fits — internship or co-op units, service learning, independent study, a special-topics course, or a co-curricular record. We've placed students through all of them.
Every school routes this through a compliance, risk, or academic-affairs office, so we go there too — affiliation agreements, insurance certificates, background checks, site paperwork. We arrive with it ready rather than asking anyone to chase us for it.
Learning objectives and a syllabus per class, instructor credentials, contact hours, attendance rosters, the graded project, and a signed supervisor evaluation on their own form.
Your institution awards the credit — our job is to put a complete, approvable package in front of them so that decision is easy. You get an answer, not a runaround.
We've run internship and student programs with local institutions before, so we know what a career office and a compliance office each need — and we bring it to the first conversation. Credit is awarded by your school under its own policy. The certificate, the project, and the logged hours are yours either way.
We'll come to you. Tell us the pathway and paperwork your institution requires and we'll complete it. Syllabus, learning objectives, contact hours, instructor bios, insurance and affiliation documents are ready on request.
Who it's for
If you're curious and can give up 90 minutes once, you're qualified. That is the whole commitment.
Get the dates
There is nothing to enroll in — add your name once and we'll let you know each time a class is scheduled. Show up to the ones you want, ignore the rest. Nothing else, ever. Want it to count for credit? Tick the box and we'll start the conversation with your school.
Bringing a group?
Questions
Yes. This is community outreach, not a paid program. No tuition, no materials fee, no obligation of any kind.
No — and there is no order. Every class is a standalone 90 minutes with no prerequisites and no homework. Come to one, come to ten, come to the same one twice. Nothing builds on anything else.
No. Most of these classes have nothing to do with programming — video, audio, design, spreadsheets, and research are for everybody. The few build-focused classes go easier if you've seen a little Python, but we pair people up so nobody is stuck.
No. Everything we use in class is either free or provided for the session. Bring a laptop if you have one; if you don't, tell us in the form and we'll sort it out.
That's exactly what we set up. Your school awards the credit, so we go to the two offices that decide — career or placement, and compliance — agree on the pathway, complete their paperwork, and give them attendance records, learning objectives, contact hours, your project, and a signed evaluation. Tick the box on the sign-up form and we'll take it from there. Many schools already have a pathway in place for exactly this.
Every class gives you a dated certificate with contact hours, and the build classes give you a finished project to link. We hand you the exact wording to use. Attend six and we'll write you a signed letter listing every topic and hour — and we verify it for any employer who calls.
The classes stand on their own — attend and never hear from us again if you like. That said, we do hire interns, and students who come to classes are welcome to apply.
Yes — a certificate of attendance for each class you come to, and the hands-on classes send you home with something for your portfolio.
We schedule classes regularly around the academic calendar. Add your name above and you'll get an email each time one is on, with the topic, the date, and how to join.
Never in class. Every pharmacy exercise uses synthetic data — part of what we teach is precisely why real pharmacy data can't leave a compliant environment.
