Ready to move beyond the basics? This hands-on workshop series is designed for anyone who wants to make AI a practical part of their everyday life. Whether your goal is to save time at work, organize your personal life, learn something new, tackle a creative project, or simply become more confident using AI, we’ll help you discover approaches that work for you. You’ll learn how to write more effective prompts, create reusable AI workflows, and use AI to solve real-world problems. Throughout the series, you’ll apply what you learn to your own interests and goals—whether that’s planning a vacation, organizing finances, writing, researching, creating presentations, generating images, building a simple app, or streamlining everyday tasks. You’ll leave with practical skills and personalized workflows you can continue using long after the course ends. You don’t need to attend the introductory course to join this workshop. While the introductory course provides a helpful foundation, we’ll begin with a brief refresher before moving into what makes this series unique: hands-on practice, personalized guidance, and building practical AI workflows around your own interests, goals, and everyday challenges. Please bring a laptop. Most of the workshop is hands-on, and participants without a laptop won’t be able to fully participate in the guided activities. If bringing a laptop isn’t possible, you’re still welcome to attend, but plan to take notes and apply the exercises later.
