AI Playtime: Get Curious, Experiment, and Build Confidence
Learning & Development
Facilitated by Georgianna Negron-Long
Open to all employees
Artificial Intelligence is evolving quickly, and figuring out where—or whether—to begin can feel overwhelming. This beginner-to-intermediate workshop takes a practical, human-centered approach to AI, with ChatGPT as the primary tool and examples from other AI platforms.

Rather than trying to keep up with every new AI tool or feature, participants will learn strategies for starting small, experimenting safely, improving results through prompting and context, and developing their own judgment about when AI is—and isn't—the right tool. The session will also explore the human side of AI adoption, including common hesitations, the importance of making space for experimentation, and balan…

You’ll learn in plain language how AI creates responses and why it sometimes invents information, known as hallucinations. See how small changes to a prompt can lead to surprisingly different results. Then try a simple prompt framework on a task from your own course, and learn where human judgment is still essential. This series takes a balanced approach, so you can decide what role, if any, AI should play in your courses. No prior experience is needed. Bring a laptop and one teaching task.
