AI is a tool you can talk to.
You do not need to become “a tech person.” You can start by asking for a little help with something you already do: writing, planning, learning, organizing, or solving a small problem.
Start where you are
No experience is assumed. Questions are welcome.
Make it useful
Practice with real situations, not confusing theory.
Keep people in charge
AI can help, but important information still deserves a human check.
Leave with a next step
Small wins build confidence faster than a big lecture.
Choose your path

Plan a meal
“Give me three easy dinners using chicken, rice, and broccoli.”
Write with warmth
“Help me write a kind text to check on a friend.”
Get organized
“Turn these notes into a simple weekend plan.”
