Learn to Use AI Tools for Productivity and Creativity (Beginner-Friendly)

This hands-on course helps nontechnical learners become comfortable using free AI tools to boost productivity, creativity, and confidence at work, in school, or at home. You’ll start from zero and learn how to write effective AI “prompts” (simple instructions you type into an AI tool). By the end of the course, you’ll be using prompts at an intermediate level to generate ideas, draft content, organize projects, and explore creative possibilities. The final 30 minutes of each class are open Q&A and collaborative practice. 

You don’t need to be a strong writer, designer, or marketer to get real results. You also don’t need to think of yourself as “artistic” to create eye-catching social media posts, or even a fun illustrated storybook for a child or grandchild.

1. Improve productivity for work, freelancing, or school
2. Learn faster using AI as a practice and coaching partner for languages and other skills
3. Explore new frontiers in writing, design, and creative projects with confidence.
4. Refresh your knowldege with the free ebook we use in class using examples, customizable prompting templates, helpful tips, and additional resources.

Dr. Robert Goddard is widely considered the father of the space age and his groundbreaking experiments transformed rocketry from imagination into reality. This program will use historical images, personal writings, and accounts of his pioneering 1926 liquid‑fuel rocket launch that beckoned in the era of modern spaceflight. The presentation also highlights Esther Goddard’s essential role in preserving her husband's legacy and ensuring his contributions continue to inspire future explorers.
