AI Learning Lab · Barcelona · 2026
Learn AI with structure, not scattered tutorials.
The AI Learning Lab is a 3-day, in-person intensive that gives you a structured path — from foundations to building systems that predict, not just react. Every seat also helps support children in Venezuela, through Hogar Bambi and Acción contra el Hambre.
Open to everyone. Our commitment to gender equity: every man who books a seat invites a woman to join him, so women stay the majority in the room.
2026 cohort — fully booked · Spring 2027 dates to be announced
Inside Day 1 of the AI Learning Lab — hands on keyboards, not slides.
Your ticket is a donation
Every seat funds the room — and a cause.
The AI Learning Lab is built as a donation, not a sale. €20 of every ticket covers the space, materials, and guest speakers. €100 goes straight to the cause the community is supporting that cohort.
This cohort: proceeds went to earthquake relief efforts in Venezuela and Colombia. We may continue supporting that cause, or the community may vote on the next one — details on how to have a say are coming to the Spring 2027 waitlist.
Join the Spring 2027 waitlist below to be part of choosing the next cause.
The Program
Three Saturdays. One thread.
Each day runs 10:00–18:00 in Barcelona. All three days are designed for the same participant — book once, come to all three.
Day 1
Saturday, August 22, 2026
Foundations & Agentic Practice
You'll build a working mental model of AI agents and leave with a reliable, repeatable way of working with them — not a one-off demo.
- Intro to AI agents
- Claude Code, hands-on
- Building a reliable agent harness
- Context engineering
- Agentic flows with coding assistants
- Critical thinking & practice
Lunch from La Burguer de mi Amiga and Vicio, a networking session, and Slack access to handbooks, ready-to-use skills, prompts, and step-by-step workflows.
Day 2
Saturday, September 26, 2026
Fine-Tuning & Human Resilience
You'll get hands-on fine-tuning your first model, then step back to build the human side of working with AI — resilience.
- Fine-tuning your first model, hands-on
- Agentic memory systems
- Intro to open source & open-weight models
- Resilience — this session's human skill
With ML engineer and university professor Mani Tahriri guiding the hands-on fine-tuning.
Day 3
Saturday, October 24, 2026
Production AI & Deeper Understanding
You'll go from using AI tools to understanding how they actually work — autonomous agents, RAG, and models in production — and close with the human skill AI can't replace.
- Intro to Machine Learning
- Autonomous agents & RAG
- Putting agents into production with reliable memory systems
- Predictions with ML models
- Awakening creativity — this session's human skill
With guest engineers, data scientists, and AI operators from the business side — covering both the technical build and how AI actually fits into a business.
Early bird: €100 for the waitlist, before we open registration. Standard: €120. Both cover all three days — and it's entirely a donation: €20 covers the space, materials, and guest speakers, and €100 goes straight to the cause the community supports.
From Day 1 of the AI Learning Lab
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Do I need any AI or technical background?
No. The Lab is built for beginners through to people already using AI daily — Day 1 meets everyone at the foundations before the program moves into operational and predictive systems.
Is the AI Learning Lab only for women?
No — it's open to everyone. We keep the room majority-women by asking every man who books a seat to invite a woman to join him. It's an honor-system commitment, not a checkout requirement, and it's core to how we run this program.
Do I need to attend all three days?
The program is designed as one arc across all three Saturdays, and your ticket covers all of them. If you can only make some dates, message us before booking.
What does my ticket price cover?
Your ticket is entirely a donation: €100 (early bird, for waitlist subscribers before we open registration) or €120 (standard). €20 covers the space, materials, and guest speakers — the remaining €100 goes straight to the cause the community is supporting that cohort.
What's the refund policy?
Because €100 of every ticket goes straight to the supported cause, tickets are non-refundable — but fully transferable to someone else if you can no longer attend. Email hello@justlyra.com to transfer.
Where exactly in Barcelona is it held?
The venue address is sent by email once you register — we keep it out of public marketing for capacity reasons.
2026 cohort
We're at full capacity.
All 40 seats for this cohort are taken — thank you for the response. We're opening a new cohort in Spring 2027 (exact dates to be announced).
