AI for Beginners — A Hands-On Workshop (No Tech Background Needed)

Artificial intelligence is suddenly everywhere — but most people haven’t been shown how to actually use it.

This in-person workshop is designed for normal humans doing real jobs. No coding, no jargon, no tech experience required.

You’ll learn how to work with AI instead of guessing at it.

We’ll cover:

• what AI actually is (and why it sometimes gets things wrong)
• how to ask it for useful results
• how to save time on writing, planning, and problem-solving
• how to use it safely and responsibly

You won’t just watch — you’ll practice.

Bring a laptop or tablet.
If you’ve ever opened ChatGPT and thought “that wasn’t helpful,” this class is for you.

The workshop takes place in the back event space at The Neighborhood Refuge.

The front area is open beforehand for food and drinks, and many attendees plan to come early and grab dinner before class starts.

No rush, no classroom vibe — just a comfortable place to learn something new.
