stupid little things I built with AI
I used to think tech was this sci-fi world from the movies: holographic symbols, colors, and code. It looked cool, but completely overwhelming.
I’m an English auxiliar with a background in dance, international law, education, and climbing. Tech felt full of strange words and things I did not understand. I never thought I could build anything.
Then I started playing with AI because I felt stuck about where my career was going. Little by little, I started making things.
What you’ll get from this talk
You’ll get a simple way to look at technology and start building, even without a technical background.
You’ll learn:
how questions can change your perspective
to love teaching yourself
how to shape AI around the way you think and work
to build without knowing how to code
the risks of AI and how you can ethically use it
You’ll see these ideas through real projects:
TutorFlow — a tool that helps teachers make sense of students’ English test answers and use them to plan lessons.
IZO Lemonade Stand — an interactive learning game where you make choices, solve challenges, and learn as you go.
My portfolio website — instead of showing you a finished website, you’ll see how to plan one from the start by creating a simple blueprint of what needs to be built and how each part will fit together.
The goal is not to leave knowing a hundred new technical words. It’s to leave with a clearer picture of how things are built and a way to start thinking about what you could build yourself.
You don’t need to become technical, I, for sure, still am not! 😂 Just bring a problem you already have, get curious, and see what you can start building.
P.S. Our gracious host booked a private space for us, so we kindly ask you to order a drink or food. This is our little way of supporting them, too. ❤️
