Over five weeks, participants will learn to use AI as a practical everyday tool. Each class focuses on one core principle, then demonstrates it through real-life examples participants can repeat on their own. We will cover everyday use around the house, better prompting, travel planning, information on the go, hobbies, creative projects, and a personal prompt library. The course will primarily use ChatGPT because it is widely available, beginner-friendly, and useful across many everyday situations. A free account is sufficient to participate.

This interactive workshop will help you strengthen your critical thinking skills so you can make more informed, confident decisions when facing complex challenges. Participants will learn how to recognize the cognitive biases that can influence judgment, use a practical framework to uncover the root cause of workplace problems, and apply proven techniques to evaluate situations more effectively.
