The final project: show what you can do
This module is a real project, not a test. Knowledge fades if you do not use it, so you now use what you learned to make one useful thing for your own work. Doing the project is free. The quiz at the end of this page is a short knowledge check. It is not what earns the certificate.
How the certificate works
- Finish the project for your industry (below).
- Ask for your certificate. You send us your industry, your project title and a link to your project. If your project holds names or private details, you send a PDF with all names removed instead.
- The CBC Edu Kenya team reads it against the 20-point rubric below and replies by email within 2 working days. If something is missing, you get short, kind feedback and one chance to fix it.
- If it is approved, you can buy the verified certificate (KSH 1,000, or $7.50 outside Kenya). It is emailed to you after we confirm your payment. Every certificate is checked by a person, so it is not instant.
The certificate says you completed the 10-module course and submitted a project that was reviewed against our rubric. It is not accredited by a government body or an examination board.
Three rules for every project
- It must be AI-assisted. At least one technique from Modules 4, 5, 7 or 8 is central to how you made it.
- Someone else must be able to open it. Use a link anyone with the link can open (Google Doc, Sheet, Form, a web page or Canva). If real people's details are involved, hand in a PDF or photo with all names removed instead.
- It must be useful and honest. It solves a real task for you, your family, your learners, your customers or your community. It is not a toy, and it contains no invented facts or statistics.
Your final project
Your line from Module 1:
Step 1. Pick your industry
Step 2. Read your brief
Teacher
The job: Spend less time on weekly planning by using AI for first drafts that you then check.
- Pick one subject and one grade you teach.
- Write one CO-STAR prompt each for a lesson plan, a marking rubric and a message to parents.
- Check every fact and every curriculum link against the official curriculum design. Write down what you changed.
What you hand in: A 3-page Google Doc called "My AI Planning Kit": your best 5 prompts, one finished lesson plan, and your edit notes. No learner names anywhere.
The marker looks hardest at: Curriculum fit and fact checking.
Context: I teach [subject] to [grade] in a [type of school] in [town], Kenya. My class has [number] learners of mixed ability. Objective: Draft a [length]-minute lesson plan on [topic]. Style: Practical and activity based. Tone: Professional. Audience: Me and my head of department. Response format: Learning outcomes, resources, introduction, development, conclusion, assessment. Ask me 3 questions first if anything is missing. If you are not sure of a fact or a curriculum link, say so.
Example outline by CBC Edu Kenya (made-up numbers): Page 1: five prompts with their CO-STAR parts marked. Page 2: one Grade 6 lesson plan on a single strand, with a box "Facts I checked and where". Page 3: what I changed after the AI draft (for example: replaced two examples with local ones, removed a made-up reference).
Your certificate line would read: "AI project for Teaching".
School administrator
The job: Make school paperwork faster and safer: fee reminders, notices and meeting minutes.
- Choose 3 tasks you repeat every term (for example a fee reminder, a parents notice, meeting minutes).
- Build an "assistant instruction" from Module 5 for them, with a rule to remove names first.
- Test it with made-up data only. Write down what the AI got wrong.
What you hand in: A one-page standard operating procedure (SOP) plus 3 prompt templates. Each template starts with the rule "Remove names and phone numbers before you paste anything".
The marker looks hardest at: Privacy. A project that uses real learner names cannot pass.
Act as an assistant for the administration office of a school in Kenya. Rules: 1) Never ask for or repeat a learner's full name, admission number or phone number. Use [Learner] and [Parent]. 2) Write in simple, polite English. 3) End every draft with: Please check before sending. Task: Draft a [fee reminder / notice / minutes] about [topic] for [audience]. Keep it under [number] words. If you are not sure of a fact, say so.
Example outline by CBC Edu Kenya (made-up numbers): SOP page: Task, Who does it, Tool, The rule "remove names first", The check step, Who signs off. Then three templates (fee reminder, closing-day notice, minutes) using [Learner] and [Parent] placeholders, and a test log with made-up data.
Your certificate line would read: "AI project for School Administration".

Farmer or agribusiness
The job: Answer buyers faster and plan the season with a simple sheet.
- List the 5 questions buyers ask you most often.
- Draft replies in English and Swahili with AI, then edit them into your own voice.
- Build a simple sheet for inputs, costs and harvest dates.
What you hand in: A Google Sheet plus 5 saved replies. Check prices, chemical doses and animal health advice with your extension officer or an agrovet. Never trust AI for them.
The marker looks hardest at: Usable on a phone, and honest checking of anything that could harm crops or animals.
Context: I sell [product] from my farm in [county], Kenya. Buyers ask me questions on WhatsApp. Objective: Write a polite reply to this question: [buyer question]. Style: Short and friendly. Tone: Respectful. Audience: A buyer who may prefer Swahili. Response format: One reply in English and one in Swahili, each under 60 words. Do not invent prices, doses or delivery times. If you are not sure, say so.
Example outline by CBC Edu Kenya (made-up numbers): Sheet tab 1: Inputs and costs per month. Tab 2: Planting and harvest dates. Tab 3: Five saved replies (price question, delivery, quantity, payment, quality), each marked "prices are mine, not the AI's". Made-up numbers only in the example.
Your certificate line would read: "AI project for Agribusiness".
Small shop or retail
The job: Reply to customers quickly and keep track of stock and prices.
- Write the 6 questions customers ask most.
- Have AI draft polite replies, then edit them in your own voice (English and Swahili if you use both).
- Make a stock and price sheet, or a short WhatsApp catalogue text.
What you hand in: A one-page reply guide and a stock sheet. No customer phone numbers or M-Pesa messages inside.
The marker looks hardest at: Usable by someone else in under 2 minutes, and privacy of customers.
Context: I run a [type of shop] in [town], Kenya. I answer customers on WhatsApp. Objective: Draft a reply to this customer question: [question]. Style: Short, clear, friendly. Tone: Polite and helpful. Audience: A customer on a phone. Response format: A reply under 50 words in English, then the same in Swahili. Do not invent prices, stock levels or offers. Use [price] where I have not given one. If you are not sure, say so.
Example outline by CBC Edu Kenya (made-up numbers): Reply guide: six questions (price, stock, delivery, payment, returns, opening hours) with one saved reply each. Sheet: Item, Buying price, Selling price, Stock now, Reorder level (made-up items only).
Your certificate line would read: "AI project for Retail".

I answered them myself. I checked two answers in my textbook.").
Your certificate line would read: "AI project for Learning".
Other (my own field)
The job: Solve one real task from your own work with AI. You name your own field on the certificate.
- Write one sentence about what your project does and who uses it.
- List the 3 features it must have. Not more.
- Build it with the techniques from Modules 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9, and check the facts.
What you hand in: A link (Google Doc, Sheet, Form, web page or Canva) or a PDF with all names removed. It must be useful to a real person.
The marker looks hardest at: The same 20-point rubric as every other field.
Context: I work as a [job] in [town], Kenya. A real task I repeat is [task]. Objective: Help me build [what you want] that does [3 features]. Style: Simple. Tone: Professional. Audience: [who will use it]. Response format: [document / sheet / one-page web file]. Do not invent facts. Do not include personal data of real people. If you are not sure, say so.
Example outline by CBC Edu Kenya (made-up numbers): One sentence, three features, one deliverable, one short note on what was checked. Examples: a rota helper for a security guard supervisor, a menu translator for a small restaurant, a homework timetable for a family.
Your certificate line would read: "AI project for [your field]".
Step 3. Check yourself against the rubric (20 points)
| Criterion | Points | What a pass looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Fits the industry | 4 | Solves a real task from your own work, not a toy. |
| Prompt quality | 4 | Uses CO-STAR (or a system prompt) with the six parts visible. |
| Checked for facts | 4 | A short note says what you verified and where. |
| Privacy | 4 | No personal data of real people. The red items from Module 9 are absent. |
| Usable | 4 | Someone else can open it and use it on a phone in under 2 minutes. |
Pass: 14 out of 20, and not zero on Privacy. This is a check against our rubric. It is not a government accreditation.
Step 4. Ask for your certificate
When your project is ready, send it to us. You tell us your industry, your project title and a link to your project (or say that you will email a PDF with all names removed). The CBC Edu Kenya team reads it. We reply by email within 2 working days.
Doing the course and the project is free. The verified certificate is optional and paid (KSH 1,000, or $7.50 outside Kenya). You pay only after your project is approved.
Keep it small and finish it
- Write one sentence about what your project does and who uses it.
- List the 3 features it must have. Not more.
- Build it with the techniques from Modules 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9. Most people need a few hours. Take your time.
- Test it on your phone with made-up data. Fix what breaks.
- Check the facts and write a short note on what you checked and where.
What the certificate says about you
The certificate is a record of learning, not an accredited qualification. It shows a reader that:
- You completed a 10-module structured learning path on AI.
- You built and submitted a real project for your own field, and it was reviewed against a published rubric.
- Anyone can confirm it is genuine on cbcedukenya.com/verify using your certificate code.
Well done.
Whether you ask for the certificate or not, if you have read all 10 modules you understand AI better than when you started. Now go and use it on something real.
