Introduction to AI
Getting started and building confidence with artificial intelligence
There is a lot of noise and confusion around artificial intelligence, and for many people, a fair amount of anxiety too. This class cuts through both. It begins by addressing the most common myths about AI, then builds a clear and practical understanding of how it works. From there, participants explore today's most widely-used generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude) with guided, low-pressure practice before choosing a real scenario from their own work or life to try. Participants leave with less anxiety, more curiosity, and the confidence to keep exploring.

Claude Cowork Fundamentals
Working alongside autonomous AI agents to get more done
AI is moving beyond chatbots into autonomous agents that can research, communicate, and carry out tasks on their own. This class introduces Claude Cowork and how to use AI agents responsibly and effectively at work and at home. Participants will learn what sets agents apart from traditional AI tools, where they create real value, and how to keep the right human oversight in place. You will leave with more confidence and a clear framework for evaluating where AI agents fit into your own work and organization.
