Everyone’s talking about Artificial Intelligence - but how can YOU get started?

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll show you how to get started with the most useful and popular A.I. tools. This course is aimed at A.I. beginners - You don’t need to be a technical expert to take part. We’ve written our courses to be jargon-free and easy to understand.

We'll go step-by-step through some fun and creative projects.

We’ll focus on “generative A.I.” tools - these are creative apps that can be used to create text, songs, poems, short stories, images, sounds, and music. We’ll show you practical ways to introduce these to your young people in a safe and responsible way.

You’ll learn how to help your learners create art using A.I. tools while also developing an understanding of ethical issues surrounding how these tools work, and how they could be misused.

You will:

Learn about the most popular and powerful generative AI apps including ChatGPT and DALL·E
Get hands on and experiment
Take home practical examples that you can use at your next youth work session.
