Fashion Values: Nature
Join Centre for Sustainable Fashion and understand biodiversity in the context of fashion, creating a plan for fashion that protects Earth’s ecosystems. Discover fashion practices that can protect, restore, and regenerate ecosystems: Nature is the life force that provides us with the air, water, soil, and minerals that sustain life on earth. These elements come together in the clothes we wear. This course will help you build the knowledge, skills, and connections to reimagine fashion’s practices and develop a plan to put nature first. You’ll join a community of fashion and sustainability thinkers and doers that have the vision, skills, and commitment to radically transform how we live and work through fashion. Explore the impact of fashion on biodiversity and earth’s systems: With more than one million species of plants and animals at risk of extinction, our ecosystems are under stress. Fashion plays a direct role in this, and on this course you’ll identify how dominant damaging systems of fashion production and consumption can be transformed to protect natural life on our planet. Use design thinking to radically rethink fashion products, services, and systems: Very few fashion companies have biodiversity strategies, but you’ll examine the tools and frameworks used by companies who are developing a nature-centred way of working. You’ll also be set a design thinking challenge, asking you to develop a fashion product, service or system which supports the restoration and regeneration of nature. Respond to sustainability challenges with Centre for Sustainable Fashion: This course is led by fashion and sustainability experts from Centre for Sustainable Fashion and shares knowledge from world-leading fashion practitioners and researchers. With over 110,000 learners engaged to date, you’ll gain valuable insights from fellow fashion and sustainability changemakers from around the world.

Engineering Life: Synbio, Bioethics & Public Policy
Synbio is a diverse field with diverse applications, and the different contexts (e.g., gain-of-function research, biofuels) raise different ethical and governance challenges. The objective of this course is to increase learners’ awareness and understanding of ethical and policy/governance issues that arise in the design, conduct and application of synthetic biology. The course will begin with a short history of recombinant DNA technology and how governance of that science developed and evolved, and progress through a series of areas of application of synbio. Content will be presented in many forms, including not only reading and lectures, but also recorded and live interviews and discussions with scientists, ethicists and policy makers. Learners will have the opportunity to think, write and talk about the issues and challenges in their own work and in real-life case examples. A final project will engage students in the development of governance models for synbio.

Linear Algebra: Orthogonality and Diagonalization
This is the third and final course in the Linear Algebra Specialization that focuses on the theory and computations that arise from working with orthogonal vectors. This includes the study of orthogonal transformation, orthogonal bases, and orthogonal transformations. The course culminates in the theory of symmetric matrices, linking the algebraic properties with their corresponding geometric equivalences. These matrices arise more often in applications than any other class of matrices. The theory, skills and techniques learned in this course have applications to AI and machine learning. In these popular fields, often the driving engine behind the systems that are interpreting, training, and using external data is exactly the matrix analysis arising from the content in this course. Successful completion of this specialization will prepare students to take advanced courses in data science, AI, and mathematics.

Develop Intelligent AI Agents with OpenAI
This course teaches you how to build AI agents that can remember, retrieve, and reason using OpenAI’s advanced memory and retrieval capabilities. You will learn how modern intelligent systems store context, embed knowledge, summarize conversations, and access relevant information through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). These skills form the core of powerful enterprise-grade AI agents capable of long-term coherence, personalized responses, and deep contextual understanding. Through hands-on lessons and guided demos, you’ll explore how to design short-term and long-term memory pipelines, implement embedding-based vector search, integrate document retrieval, and connect multi-agent workflows using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You will learn how to combine memory, knowledge retrieval, and reasoning to build agents that are scalable, accurate, and aligned with real-world use cases. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Explain how memory systems, embeddings, and RAG enhance agent intelligence and long-term contextual reasoning. - Implement short-term and long-term memory pipelines, including session memories, summarization, and vector storage. - Generate and use embeddings to power semantic search, document retrieval, and hybrid knowledge workflows. - Build agents that combine retrieval and reasoning, integrating RAG into core decision-making - Use MCP context fields to connect multiple agents, enabling shared memory and collaborative task execution. - Evaluate memory quality, retrieval relevance, and hallucination risks using best-practice metrics. This course is ideal for AI developers, data engineers, software professionals, and technical decision-makers who want to build context-aware, retrieval-driven, and memory-enabled AI agents for production use. A basic understanding of Python, APIs, and foundational AI prompting concepts is recommended. Join us to master the essential building blocks of intelligent agents—and create systems that truly understand, recall, and reason.
