Getting Started with AI

Curious about artificial intelligence but don’t speak tech? This class is designed for everyday learners who want to understand what AI is, how it works, and why it matters—without needing a computer science background. We’ll explore the basics of machine learning, algorithms, and real-world applications through simple language, interactive demos, and group discussion. Whether you’re a small business owner, educator, artist, or just AI-curious, you’ll leave with the tools to engage confidently with one of today’s most powerful technologies.

AI Habits for Working Professionals

AI tools are easy to access. Using them well in your actual work is a different thing.

This three-week course focuses on building a small, reliable set of AI habits you can put to work immediately. Each session is practical and hands-on, with exercises drawn from everyday professional tasks: writing, summarizing, thinking through decisions, preparing for conversations.

You don’t need a technical background to get something real out of this. Whether you’ve never opened an AI tool or you use one occasionally but inconsistently, you’ll leave each session with something concrete you can try before the next one.

By the end of the series, you’ll have a clear sense of where AI genuinely helps, where it doesn’t, and how to stay in control of what it produces. That confidence comes from practice, not from memorizing features.
