This fall, Durham Tech has embraced the strategic goal of exploring and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) across our campus community. As announced at Convocation, effective integration begins with understanding where each of us stands. To support this, join our campus AI pioneers as they lead open labs to try out some of your AI skills. Presenters will highlight AI skills, and you will be able to try them out with guidance and support. Excellent opportunity for beginners! Bring your laptop or use one of the machines in the computer lab. There is no online component for these lab sessions.  Workshops will include the following building of AI skills in a supported and guided lab environment. Sign up for any/all sessions you wish to attend!
