From Curious to Confident: A Hands-On AI Workshop

Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday work, but many people are still unsure how to use it effectively, responsibly, and with confidence.

From Curious to Confident is a two-hour, hands-on workshop for working professionals, educators, small-business owners, community leaders, and anyone who is new to AI or has experimented with it but does not yet feel confident using it.

Participants will move beyond watching demonstrations and begin practicing for themselves. The workshop is designed to help participants think more clearly about what they want from an AI tool, improve an initial response through intentional refinement, and apply what they learn to practical situations.

This is not a technical coding course. No previous AI experience is required.

• Guided, hands-on practice with AI
• Practical examples connected to everyday work and responsibilities
• Opportunities to improve AI-generated responses rather than simply accepting the first result
• A supportive environment for asking questions and building confidence
• A Confidence Companion to support practice during the workshop and continued application afterward

This workshop is designed for working professionals, educators, small-business owners, community leaders, and anyone who is new to AI or has experimented with it but does not yet feel confident using it.

• A charged laptop, smartphone, or tablet
• The device’s charging cable
• An active email account
• Access to a free ChatGPT account

A laptop is recommended for the best experience, but participants may use a smartphone or tablet.

Participants must be 18 or older to attend.
