AI tools are becoming part of everyday life, from writing emails to planning trips to helping kids with homework. The question is not whether to use them. The question is how to use them well. In this practical and accessible seminar, former CTO Beth Zukowsky shares simple ways to use AI tools to save time, support learning, and make better decisions while staying thoughtful and intentional. You will learn: • What AI can realistically help you with today • How to ask better questions to get more useful results • Where human judgment matters most • A simple framework for deciding when AI adds value No technical background required. You will leave with practical skills you can apply immediately and a clearer understanding of how AI can support your goals without replacing your thinking. In addition to this introduction workshop, Beth will also host two interactive dive-in sessions on Creative AI Tools and Practical AI for Everyday Tasks. Participants should bring a laptop if possible (tablet or phone also works).
