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.

You’ve heard about ChatGPT and other AI tools, but maybe you’re not sure what all the hype is about—or whether they’re actually useful for you. If you’ve been curious, skeptical, or simply haven’t known where to start, this class is for you. Discover practical, real-world ways AI can save time, simplify everyday tasks, and help you think, create, and solve problems more effectively. Whether you’re planning a vacation, organizing your finances, writing emails, researching a new topic, helping your kids with homework, or streamlining work tasks (as permitted by your employer), you’ll leave with practical ideas you can start using immediately. No technical background required. A laptop is optional. Bring one if you’d like to follow along during demonstrations, or simply come ready to learn.
