SUMMARY:Build Your First AI Chatbot: Hands-On Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to explore the world of AI-powered chatbots? Join 
 us for an interactive workshop where you'll go from chatbot novice to 
 creator\, building your own custom AI assistant.\n\nWhat You'll Experience: 
 This engaging\, hands-on session combines live demonstrations with 
 practical creation time. After a brief introduction to AI and chatbots\, 
 you'll watch a live walkthrough of the bot-building process\, then dive 
 into creating your own chatbot with step-by-step guidance. Whether you 
 envision an onboarding assistant for new students\, a meeting notes 
 organizer\, or a specialized teaching tool\, you'll leave with a functional 
 bot tailored to your needs.\n\nInteractive Learning: The workshop 
 emphasizes peer collaboration and real-world application. You'll test each 
 other's creations in small groups\, share feedback\, and participate in a 
 showcase where volunteers demonstrate their bots. This collaborative 
 approach ensures you'll gain insights not just from the instruction\, but 
 from seeing creative solutions your colleagues develop.\n\nWhat to Bring: 
 Come prepared with a workflow or process you'd like to automate to serve as 
 inspiration for your chatbot creation. Pre-session materials (a brief video 
 and reading on chatbot basics and prompt engineering) will be provided to 
 maximize our hands-on time together.\n\nBeyond the Workshop: You'll receive 
 a comprehensive digital resource kit including Pickaxe guides\, prompt 
 templates\, and additional learning materials. Plus\, this session serves 
 as a foundation for our upcoming Python-based AI workshop for those 
 interested in more advanced development.\n\n\n	Prerequisites: No technical 
 experience required—just curiosity and willingness to 
 experiment!\n	Duration: 1  hour. Refreshments will be 
 provided.\n	Registration: Please register by Wednesday\, September 17\, as 
 space is limited to ensure personalized attention and meaningful peer 
 interaction.\n
