Free AI workshops for teens, adults scheduled

Business Automation: North X-Labs and its partners hosted their first community event on Monday, Nov. 3, featuring 56 community leaders and industry partners for the Business Automation Exploration that explored training strategies in the changing job market.

North Idaho College X-Labs, a mission-driven strategy launched this year that aims to bring regional students, instructors and employers together to drive business innovation through problem solving and applied learning, will host two free artificial intelligence workshops for teens and adults.

Both workshops are at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library, Room 116, 702 E. Front Ave., at 5:30 p.m., including: 

• Friday, Nov 14: “How You Can Use AI in Real Life?”
• Friday, Dec. 5: “AI and Robots at Your Job”

“The benefit of NIC X-Labs is the gift of coming together, across generations, roles and expertise,” said Marita Diffenbaugh, NIC X-Labs Director of Innovation. “We had fantastic feedback from our first AI workshop in October, and we look forward to offering two more workshops. Come join us.”

The workshops are co-organized by the University of Idaho’s Center for Intelligent Industrial Robotics. 

NIC will launch two new courses in the spring to complement activities of X-Labs, including Introduction to Robotics and Innovating for the Real World, that can be found in the catalog at websvcfe.nic.edu/Student/Courses.

X-Labs and its partners co-hosted their first community event on Monday featuring 56 community leaders and industry partners for the Business Automation Exploration that brought education and industry together to share resources and to collaborate about automation, AI and robotics.

The ‘X’ in X-Labs represents the intersection of people and ideas that also connects education with industry.
