Two Tracks, One Goal: Learn & Build With AI This Summer
Explore or build with AI this summer, right here in Stouffville. Free, local, and beginner-friendly.
Hey everyone! 👋
We're excited to officially announce the first two events in our AI Circle Summer Series – and explain how everything fits together. If you’ve been curious about what AI can do for you, these tracks are designed to help you either explore the tools or build something real. Or both!
We'll be running two separate tracks this summer. Each track will meet roughly every two weeks, starting in mid-July. You can attend one or both, depending on your interest:
🧠Track 1: Level Up Your AI Skills (No Coding)
First session: Sunday, July 13 @ 1:00 PM
Location: Stouffville Leisure Centre
Facebook Event & RSVP: Click here
This track is for anyone using tools like ChatGPT or Claude and wanting to level up—without writing code. We’ll explore:
AI Platforms Overview
What’s out there (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) and how to choose the right tool for each task.Working with Files, Prompts & Projects
How to upload files, organize your work, and write better prompts.
Use cases: document analysis, resume critique, summarizing long YouTube videos, and creative writing.Deep Research & Smarter Workflows
How to use AI for more serious multi-step research — like analyzing business trends, doing market research, or breaking down long reports.Beyond Text: Your Environment + AI
Tools like MCP let your AI interact with files, email, calendars, or even websites.
These are hands-on sessions with time for questions, examples, and trying things out together.
🚀 Track 2: From Idea to MVP (For Entrepreneurs & Builders)
First session: Sunday, July 20 @ 1:00 PM
Location: Stouffville Leisure Centre
Facebook Event & RSVP: Click here
This track is for anyone who wants to explore building a tool, product, or business—with AI speeding things up dramatically. We’ll walk through:
Validating Ideas with AI
Use AI tools to explore market needs, define your audience, and sharpen your value proposition.Prototyping
Create early mockups and demos using no-code or AI-assisted tools. Test before you build.Building a Real MVP Together
We'll work on a real product idea proposed by the group organizer, but you can also explore your own idea alongside it. You'll learn what an MVP is and how to gather feedback early.
Like Track 1, these sessions are relaxed, open, and beginner-friendly. You don’t need to have a business background—just curiosity.
Which Track Should You Join?
You don't have to choose only one! But here’s a rough guide:
Choose Track 1 if you want to become a smarter AI user and get more out of tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini in your everyday life or work.
Choose Track 2 if you want to start building something, even if it’s just a side project or an experiment.
Both events are free to attend. You can RSVP on Facebook to help us plan better, or if you prefer not to use Facebook, just send us a quick note at hello@aicircle.ca. We hope to see you at one (or both) of the kick-off sessions!
