Practical workshops · Pepperell, Massachusetts
Make AI useful without handing it your judgment.
I build and lead hands-on sessions for libraries, schools, community groups, educators, and local teams. People come with a real question, try something useful, see where the answer can fail, and leave knowing what to do next.
Led by Seth Gammon · In person across northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire · Remote nationwide
Start with who is in the room
Four starting points, shaped around the people in the room.
Choose the closest audience. I keep the practical outcome and adapt the examples, pace, and exercises to the people, setting, and reason you are bringing them together.

Ask about this program05 · Something else
Bring the audience and the situation.
If people are asking a question these programs do not answer, bring the question. I can shape a bounded session around a real need without turning the offer into an open-ended consulting promise.
Describe what you needRepresentative session · 90 minutes
Here is what people would actually do.
This is the opening plan for AI Essentials for Everyday Life. It is specific enough to evaluate now and flexible enough to use the examples your audience will recognize.
Take-home methodAsk → Check → Revise → Decide
- 00–10
See one failure
A plain-language model of what the system is doing, followed by a confident answer that does not hold up.
- 10–30
Ask for something useful
Turn a vague request into a bounded task with context, constraints, and a reason for the work.
- 30–50
Check the answer
Look for missing context, invented support, weak sources, and language that sounds more certain than the evidence.
- 50–70
Practice on real life
Work through research, planning, writing, learning, or job-search examples chosen for the group.
- 70–82
Know the boundary
Privacy, scams, consequential decisions, and the moments when a tool should not be the authority.
- 82–90
Keep a method
Leave with an Ask, Check, Revise, Decide card and a next use worth trying.
Simple to host
You provide the room. I bring the shape of the session.
You do not need to write a curriculum or know which tools to choose before contacting me.
Internet access
Plus advance notice if accounts, devices, or network policy will limit what participants can use.
The audience context
Age range, likely experience, accessibility needs, and the reason this program matters now.
A practical group size
Most hands-on sessions are designed for up to 25 people so questions and practice still fit.

Ask about a workshop
Give me enough to answer usefully.
You do not need to design the program. Tell me who it is for, where it would happen, and what made you look for it. I can propose a fit, a better shape, or an honest non-fit.
