Learn the fundamentals together
Guided lessons, practical examples, and live sessions that make the next step clear.
Learning AI alone is hard. Doing it together isn't.
Anchor is a small group where you learn AI fundamentals with people doing it alongside you, with real structure and real momentum so you actually keep going.

Your path
A structured journey from foundations to applied AI.
Fifteen focused cohorts across five phases. Each cohort is a single 2-week topic.
Phase 1
Foundations
Core ML and probabilistic thinking before deep learning.
- 01AI Foundations + Supervised Learning Basics
- 02ML Pipeline + Feature Engineering + Advanced Classification
- 03Unsupervised + Self-Supervised Learning
Phase 2
Deep Learning
Neural networks, deployment, and architectures for images and sequences.
- 04Deep Learning Foundations
- 05MLOps + Model Deployment
- 06Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) + Medical Imaging
- 07Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) + Time Series
Phase 3
Language & Generation
Text, transformers, generative models, and learning from feedback.
- 08NLP Foundations + Embeddings
- 09Transformer Architecture + Attention + Multimodal Models
- 10Generative Models
- 11Reinforcement Learning + RLHF
Phase 4
Applied AI
Building real systems with LLMs and agents.
- 12LLMs in Practice
- 13Agentic AI
Phase 5
Responsibility
Trustworthy, explainable, governed AI.
- 14Explainable AI + Responsible AI
- 15AI Safety, Alignment + Governance

Sound familiar?
You're motivated. The missing piece is not discipline.
You start a course, save tutorials, and tell yourself this is the month.
A few weeks in, life gets busy and learning quietly slips.
You want practical AI confidence, but the path feels scattered.
You would keep going more easily with structure, guidance, and people beside you.
How it works
A small group, a clear path, and people who keep showing up.
02
Daily peer momentum
Small group check-ins so you are seen, supported, and less likely to drift.
03
Structure, so you're never lost
A clear learning path with help when concepts feel abstract or overwhelming.
Is this you?
Anchor is built for a specific kind of learner.
- You want to genuinely understand AI, not just hear about it.
- You've tried learning alone and lost momentum.
- You learn better with people than by yourself.
- You're a beginner, and you want a place where that's completely okay.
In their words
From the people Anchor is built for.
I had tried courses, books, and YouTube. What I needed was a small group of people doing it at the same time as me. That made all the difference.
A learner from a technical background
The structure removed the overwhelm. I finally understood concepts I had been circling for months.
A learner from a healthcare role
It felt human, not transactional. The group keeps you showing up in the warmest possible way.
A learner mid-career, changing direction
Who's behind Anchor?
A guide who knows what learning alone feels like.
- PhD, UBC-trained, and now an instructor with UBC Extended Learning.
- Ex-Google AI researcher.
- 5+ years tutoring AI and machine learning.
- Created Anchor because my own learning journey was mostly alone, and I wanted others to have a smoother, warmer path.
Hi, I'm Mobina
Anchor is the community I wish I had when I was learning: structured enough to keep you moving, human enough to make showing up feel good, and small enough that you are not invisible.
