Stop Watching AI. Start Using It. A Hands-On Workshop designed for Women, delivered by Women. (co-hosted by: WIT Waterloo Region & Momentum)
AI is changing how work gets done — but most people still don’t know how to actually use it in their day-to-day.
And most spaces teaching it?
Not built for women. Not hands-on. Not practical.
This is different.
This is a small, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn one real workflow you can actually use — and build it yourself.
What you’ll do
We’ll walk through a simple, practical workflow:
→ Information synthesis (from feedback, notes, meetings, etc.) - let's automate insights and apply to a hypothesis, business model, etc. i.e. are you going in the right direction based on what you are hearing.
→Automating a common workflow (email, task tracking, action items, etc.)
→Using AI as a thinking partner - we will teach you how to thinking about prompting, and get more from the tools. Bring your own problem for this one.
This workshop will use Claude but the workflows and exercise apply to most other tools.
We’ll keep it focused and simple — so you can follow along and actually learn it.
