AI Foundations: Your First Account, Your First Prompt

Go from Zero to Confident Practical Skills

A Beginner Workshop.

You've heard about AI. Maybe you've tried it once or twice. But you're not sure you're doing it right — or where to even start. This session is built for exactly that moment.

You'll go from zero to confident: you'll have your first AI account set up, understand what AI actually is (and isn't), and walk away with a practical skills you can use the same day.

No jargon. No code. No assumptions about what you already know.

What to bring:

A question or task you need help with.

This is not a course about AI theory. We won't debate language models or compare tools. This is a practical, do-it-together session where you leave having actually used AI — not just learned about it.

Come curious. Leave capable.

What you’ll learn

A clear mental model for how AI tools are structured and how to use them safely.
