Discover how AI can help with everyday tasks in a free, four week class designed for adults. The series is offered in a hybrid format, with the option to attend at the Pioneer Community Center in Oregon City or participate live online. Each session lasts one hour and focuses on practical skills without jargon or pressure. Bring a laptop, tablet, or smartphone if you have one, though a device is not required to benefit from the lessons. Across four weeks, the class begins with the basics of what AI is and where it already appears in daily life. It then walks through setting up and using a simple AI tool, followed by hands on examples like drafting emails, asking better questions, and finding small ways to save time. The final meeting adapts to the group’s interests, reinforcing core ideas, answering questions, or exploring topics the class is eager to try. The pace adjusts to the room and questions are encouraged throughout. This offering welcomes anyone curious about AI, including beginners and skeptics, and is especially supportive of those who feel behind. It is not aimed at technical training, coding, or advanced automation. Attendance is free and registration is required. In person seating is limited, while the online option does not have a cap. Instruction is led by Richard Guerrero, founder of SkAiL Evolution, an Oregon City based firm that helps people apply AI in practical ways. He brings over three decades of experience designing technology systems for major retailers such as JCPenney, American Eagle, and Hasbro, and leads community classes to make useful, jargon free skills accessible to everyone.
