An in-person AI class for beginners
AI & Sip
Two relaxed hours. Bring a drink, bring your questions, leave knowing how to actually use AI.
If you keep hearing about AI and still haven't tried it, or you tried it once and it fell flat, this night is for you. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just a friendly room, real examples, and a teacher who meets you where you are.

Is this night for you?
Sound familiar?
You don't need to be technical. You don't need a laptop. You just need a little curiosity and an evening free.
- You've heard about ChatGPT and the rest, but you've never actually opened one.
- You tried it once, got a bland answer, and closed the tab.
- You want to use it for real things: emails, planning, ideas, and the everyday tasks that eat your time.
- You learn better in a room with people than from a video alone.
If you nodded at any of these, pull up a chair.
How the night goes
Two hours, four simple steps
This is the same method I use with corporate teams and MBA students. It just goes down easier with a glass in hand.
1
Where are you starting from?
We begin with what you already know, even if that's nothing. No one gets left behind and no one gets bored.
2
Watch it work
I show you what AI can do with real, everyday examples, not demos built to impress.
3
Try it yourself
You ask AI for something you actually need. We shape the request together until the answer is useful.
4
Know why it worked
You leave understanding the method, so you can do it again next Tuesday without me in the room.
You walk in without knowing where to start with AI, and you walk out with an understanding and the confidence to build the next steps on your own, in a single session. Felesia McDonald

Good questions
Before you grab a seat
Still wondering about something? Email info@felesiamcdonald.com and I'll answer personally.
Do I need any AI experience?
No. This night is built for beginners. If you've never opened an AI tool, you're exactly who I planned it for. If you've dabbled, you'll finally understand why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
Do I need a laptop?
Your phone is enough. Bring a laptop if you'd rather type on a keyboard, but it's not required.
Is a drink included?
No. AI & Sip is bring your own. Your $47 ticket covers the two-hour class and everything I teach in it.
Can I bring a friend?
Please do. Each person needs their own ticket, so grab one for each of you.
What if I can't make it after all?
Refund or transfer policy to add.
Where do I park?
Parking directions to add once the venue confirms.
