PHOTOGRAPHY, TECHNOLOGY, & DIGITAL SKILLS -
Winter/Spring 2026

AI isn’t all hype, it's a surprisingly helpful assistant and time-saver that you can use right now and often for free. In this beginner-friendly class, we’ll explore 10 practical ways to use AI in your daily life, from detecting scams to "profitable decluttering".

We'll talk about the latest versions of tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini and see how to put them to work without a subscription.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to use AI to solve everyday problems and stay organized
  • How to scan and identify objects with your phone’s camera
  • How to research, summarize, and plan smarter (not harder)
  • How to save time, money, and effort using free versions of today’s top AI tools
  • The ethics of AI: What to trust, how to protect your data, and how to spot bias

Bring your questions, and optionally your devices to test and follow along in class.
