If you've opened ChatGPT, typed something in, read what came back, and thought "this sounds nothing like a human being wrote it"... this is for you.

Imagine asking AI to write a thank-you note to your neighbor and it actually sounds like you wrote it. Imagine using it to organize a trip, draft an email to your boss, or research a topic in half the time it normally takes, and the results are actually useful. Not robotic. Not weird. Not embarrassing.

That's what happens when you know what to say to it.

Here's where most people are instead: they opened ChatGPT or Google Gemini because everyone said they should. They typed something in. What came back sounded like a greeting card written by a microwave. They tried again. Same thing. They closed the tab and haven't gone back.

Or worse, they haven't tried at all because the whole thing feels like it's moving too fast and they've already missed the window.

You haven't missed anything. You're just missing one piece: how to talk to AI so it gives you what you actually want.

My name is Walter Schnecker. I run C1M Academy in Amherst, NH. We're a New Hampshire Department of Education-licensed school. I've taught over 2,000 students across 20+ years. I hold credentials from Johns Hopkins in neuroscience and specialize in making complicated technology feel simple.

I'm running a free, in-person workshop called Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. 90 minutes. No jargon. No laptop required. You'll walk in confused about AI and walk out knowing how to use it that same afternoon.

Here's what you won't get: a sales pitch for the first 90 minutes. No pressure. No signing anything. I do also teach a six-week AI course for people who want to go deeper. But committing six weeks to a teacher you've never met is a strange ask. So the free workshop is a test drive. Of me. If you like how I teach, the course is there. If you don't, you still leave with 90 minutes of useful knowledge and you lost nothing but 90 minutes of a Saturday morning.

Saturday, August 8th. 10:00 to 11:30 AM. Amherst, NH. Free.

Seats are limited because it's a real classroom, not a webinar.
