Thinking With AI: A Practical Introduction

This workshop is designed for beginners to novice who want to move beyond curiosity and start using AI in a practical, effective ways.

Rather than focusing on tools alone, this session teaches a clear framework for how AI works, how to direct it, and how to apply it across real tasks. Participants will learn how to use AI as both an assistant and a thinking partner—improving speed, clarity, and decision-making.

By the end of the session, attendees will understand not just what AI can do, but how to use it with purpose.

  • How different AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Grok) are best used—and when to use each

  • How to begin “stacking” AI for greater leverage
