A live, 1-hour session for adults who want a real foundation in how to use AI tools well.
AUGUST 19th
4pm - 5pm CST
You've probably opened ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude and typed something in. That doesn't mean you know what you're doing with it, and that's exactly what this session is for — a practical, judgment-first introduction to how these tools work, how to talk to them well, and how to get something useful back.
In one hour, we'll cover:
What's actually happening when you type a prompt
A simple framework for getting better results, every time
The difference between a vague ask and a clear one — and why it matters
How to review what you get back, instead of just accepting it
Enough foundation to keep exploring on your own
This session is platform-agnostic — bring whatever tool you already have access to (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another), free or paid. The exercises work the same regardless of which one you're using.
Format: Live, virtual session via Microsoft Teams
Duration: 1 hour
Investment: $175
Date: August 19th, 4pm - 5pm CST
Led by Sarah Anderson and James Holmberg, founders of VILAS, who've spent the last several years teaching organizations how to build judgment around AI — now adapted for a younger audience asking the same questions. Sarah and James have been featured on Minnesota Public Radio, The Star Tribune, Twin Cities Business, Wisconsin Alumni Association, Minneapolis College of Art and Design Alumni Notes, and CBS News Minnesota. They are guest lecturers at MCAD and advisors to other higher education institutions. Clients include leading non-profits, foundations, government agencies and private sector clients. They lead monthly executive sessions at the Minneapolis Club and are featured speakers on AI in taste, judgment and responsible use.
