Instead of jumping straight into the tech\, we’ll start with the basics: how to recognise a good opportunity for AI\, when it’s actually worth using\, and the different ways it can help. \nYou’ll get the chance to share how you already use AI (if at all!)\, the tricky parts you run into\, and the repetitive tasks you’d love to hand off. As a group\, we’ll look at real examples from different jobs and everyday life\, then walk through turning one of those ideas into a working AI tool — a Microsoft 365 Declarative Agent. \nWhat you’ll walk away with: \n\nA simple framework for spotting good AI opportunities\nHands-on experience designing an AI solution from a real task\nYour own AI agent\, ready to adapt to your role or workplace\nNo coding or AI experience needed — just bring your curiosity!\n\nBy the end of the night you’ll have something genuinely useful — built by you\, ready to use! \nWhat to bring: \n\nA laptop with a web browser\nOne task or workflow you’d like to improve\nAccess to the Microsoft 365 Copilot environment (provided on the day if you don’t have an account)\nNo coding or technical background needed — just curiosity and something worth automating.\n\nWho Is This For? \n\nEducators creating lessons\, staff briefings\, developing strategic presentations or student resources\nCorporate professionals preparing reports\, proposals\, or board decks\nSole traders and small business owners trying to run their business with limited time and staff\nAnyone creating for business\, community\, or personal projects — or if you’re simply tech curious!\n\n  \nIt’s practical\, hands-on\, and open to all. \nThis space is also for Logan residents\, youth\, jobseekers\, other industry leaders\, and anyone who’s simply tech-curious.
