CoorsTek Academy

Class Overview

This interactive workshop focuses on building practical skill and confidence when working with generative AI in a professional setting. Participants will explore how to collaborate with AI effectively by crafting clearer prompts, evaluating responses critically, and refining outputs through iteration and comparison across multiple tools.

The session emphasizes hands‑on practice, small‑group discussion, and real workplace scenarios. Learners will experiment with structured prompting techniques, compare AI tools side by side, and apply critical thinking to assess accuracy, bias, and risk before using or sharing AI‑generated content.

Designed to be engaging and practice‑driven, the workshop encourages experimentation, reflection, and immediate application to everyday work.

This virtual class runs for 4 hours, one time on Teams. All times listed are in Mountain Time zone.
