Collaboratively Discovering AI
In-Studio AI Jam
Do you have a lingering question about AI, or perhaps a "riff" of an idea for your classroom that you’re ready to amplify? Drop in for an open In-Studio AI Jam: Collaboratively Discovering AI session!
Whether you want to drop in for ten minutes to troubleshoot a specific prompt or stay for the full time to build a complete prototype with our team, the floor is yours. This is your chance to get hands-on with Terrier GPT, explore new tools, and navigate the spontaneous, unstructured workflow of AI in a low-pressure environment. These sessions are open to all BU faculty and staff.
