Register for the series\, and you can join on the days that work for you.\nNO prior knowledge or AI expertise is necessary! We’ll help you get started with a free AI tool if needed. Just bring yourself (and a sense of humor).\nA portion of each session will be recorded.\nTo request ASL interpretation or other accommodations\, contact support@mnabedistancelearning.zendesk.com\nThis will be fun!
