Opting Out of AI
It feels like AI is everywhere these days, in our email, search results, and everywhere else. Big Tech launches more and more AI features in the tools we use every day. This all makes artificial intelligence seem inevitable, but it doesn't have to be. This interactive workshop will show you how to turn off AI features in Outlook, Gmail, Google searches, and other tools you use to communicate and find information. Bring your phone or other devices with you and we'll help you avoid AI in all the places you don't want it.

Brainstorming for Creative Projects
Do you want to start a creative project but are stuck waiting for inspiration to strike? Whether you've been told to "do something creative" or want to start a podcast, most creative ideas come from a methodical approach to brainstorming, not from a lightning bolt or magical vision. This workshop will use examples to take you through the steps of brainstorming to come up with new creative ideas, and the tools you need to follow through on your creative projects.
