AI at Work: A Practical Toolkit

This hands-on workshop focuses on practical, everyday applications of AI in the workplace. You'll learn how to choose the right tools, models and settings for different tasks, and leave with strategies you can use right away to save time, streamline routine work and open new possibilities for problem-solving, creativity and productivity. Whether you're new to AI or already use it but feel you're only scratching the surface, you'll walk away with a toolkit you can keep building on. This class is held in a computer lab classroom so participants can experiment with tools as they are taught.
This workshop focuses on building skills rather than examining the broader ethical and societal implications of AI.

Coding with Python: The Fundamentals

Curious about coding but not sure where to start? This two-session workshop introduces the core ideas behind every programming language using Python, one of the world's most popular and beginner-friendly languages. Python's clean, readable style lets you focus on learning to think like a programmer instead of wrestling with complicated syntax. You'll write and run real Python code from the very first session in a supportive, low-pressure setting (no experience required), and leave with a solid foundation for future coding classes or projects of your own.
Why Python?
  • It's one of the most common first languages in college intro programming courses.
  • The core concepts (variables, logic, loops, functions) transfer directly to other languages like JavaScript, Java, and C#.
  • It's used across industries for data analysis, automation, web development, science, and AI.
  • It reads almost like plain English, so beginners get to real results quickly.
