C1M Academy, LLC

You bought a nice camera. You were excited. Then you took a few photos and they looked... fine. The same as your phone. Maybe worse.
So you tried YouTube. You Googled "how to get better photos." You read part of the manual. And every explanation used words you'd never heard before and assumed you already knew things you didn't.
Eventually the camera went back in the bag. Or the closet. Or the shelf.
You're not bad at photography. You just never got a starting point that made sense.
I'm running a free two-hour workshop at C1M Academy in Amherst. You'll see why your camera makes the choices it does in Auto mode, why those choices don't work half the time, and what you'd need to learn to take control of it yourself.
No jargon. No pressure. Bring your camera and your questions.

Attention Amherst, Milford, and surrounding NH residents who tried AI and gave up.
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, 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 an in-person workshop called Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. $49. 90 minutes. No jargon. No laptop required. You'll see where AI came from, why the scare tactics in the headlines are manufactured, and how to start using 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 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 knowledge you'll use that afternoon.
Saturday, November 21st. 10:00 to 11:30 AM. Amherst, NH. $49. 
Seats are limited because it's a real classroom, not a webinar.
