AI Study Kickstart for High School Students

Start the school year with a practical AI workflow that improves understanding, study quality, and confidence across subjects.

This workshop combines two complementary approaches in one session:

Part 1 (before lunch): building an AI tutor using ChatGPT 'Projects'.
Part 2 (after lunch): using Google NotebookLM for assignment research and revision.

The goal is not shortcuts. The goal is better learning: clearer thinking, stronger preparation, and work students can explain and defend.

What this session is and isn’t
This is not about using AI to get quick answers. It is about using AI to learn properly. Students will learn how to:

  • work from real class and curriculum materials.
  • check AI outputs against evidence.
  • build subject-specific study support that stays aligned to school expectations.
  • use a repeatable system across assignments, revision, and exam preparation.

Program topics

Part 1: AI tutor build in ChatGPT 'Projects'

Tim will build one tutor live in ChatGPT 'Projects' from start to finish so students can see the full setup method clearly. From that single build, students will be able — and encouraged — to create one tutor per subject using the same method.

Each subject tutor can be grounded in material that actually matters, including:

  • relevant Victorian curriculum and study design requirements.
  • class notes and teacher guidance.
  • past exams and assessment tasks.
  • marked work and feedback (where available).

What students learn in Part 1

  • how to structure a tutor in ChatGPT 'Projects' for real school use.
  • how to customise tutor behaviour to match learning preferences.

  • how to make the tutor act like a real tutor: 

    ask for working and reasoning, give targeted feedback, identify weak areas, and provide focused follow-up practice.

 

Part 2: Google 'NotebookLM' for research, synthesis, and study resources

In the second half, students learn how to use Google 'NotebookLM' to turn scattered material into structured, useful study outputs.

What students learn in Part 2

  • how to organise links, PDFs, and notes into usable content
  • how to extract key points, arguments, and supporting evidence

  • how to generate practical revision assets, including: 

    structured study notes, comparison tables, flashcards and quick quizzes, visual summaries (slides and infographics), short explainers for revision, and how to verify claims against source material instead of trusting output blindly.

How the two parts work together
'NotebookLM' helps students organise and understand source material. The ChatGPT tutor helps them practise, get feedback, and improve over time. Together, this creates a practical system students can use weekly, not just before tests.

Who this is for:

  • high school students who want to use AI effectively and responsibly.
  • students who want stronger study methods, not shortcut habits.
  • students who want better confidence in assignments and exams.


Bring-your-own device (optional)
Students are welcome to bring a laptop or tablet if they wish to follow along. This is a front-led workshop rather than a computer-lab format, so there won’t be dedicated time for everyone to build their full setup live during the session. The focus is on learning the method clearly, then implementing it properly afterwards for each subject. Access to power points is limited, so devices should be fully charged on arrival.

Lunch arrangements
This is a single Sunday session with a 45-minute lunch break. Students may bring their own lunch, or choose from several cafés within easy walking distance of the library.

Access requirements
Tutor component: Tim teaches and demonstrates this in ChatGPT 'Projects'. While a paid ChatGPT licence is available for approx. $33 per month and offers additional capabilities, the free version of ChatGPT 'Projects' is also effective. Students can implement and work with most of what we're setting out to do with the tutors using the free version.

'NotebookLM' component: NotebookLM also has paid subscription options. However, most core functionality used in this workshop is available on the free tier, with daily usage limits.

I’m not a high school student — can I still attend?
Absolutely, you’re very welcome to attend. I just ask that you leave plenty of space for students to ask their questions and avoid taking over the airtime.

Tim makes light work of this course, proving that no matter what you think you know there’s another element that might just be the missing piece of the puzzle. Very helpful and engaging way to spend a day unlocking potential from many angles. Highly recommended.
