Hands-on AI building workshops

Move from hearing about AI to building with it

Give participants practical experience with AI tools through collaborative experimentation around real use cases.

The challenge

AI lectures alone do not create practical experience

Participants need opportunities to use AI tools, not only hear about them.

Real understanding develops when participants can experiment around relevant use cases.

When participants get stuck, they benefit from working through problems together.

The approach

A collaborative workshop built around experimentation

Participants work directly with AI tools, explore use cases, and build together. The emphasis is on hands-on practice rather than slides, lectures, or a fixed syllabus.

Practice with AI tools

Participants gain direct experience by using AI tools during the session.

Explore relevant use cases

Building and experimentation are organized around use cases that matter to science, research, or education participants.

Learn through collaboration

Participants build together and work through obstacles as a group.

How it works

A practical route from question to outcome.

1

Identify the context

Discuss the organization, participants, and the AI use cases they want to explore.

2

Shape the workshop

Choose a practical building and experimentation focus suited to the participants.

3

Build together

Participants use AI tools, test ideas, and work through challenges collaboratively.

Evidence

Proof relevant to this work.

The AI Study Group has met more than 45 times, with around 900 people joining over the past year.

The group meets for hands-on experimentation with AI tools, domains, and use cases. Participants build together without slides, lectures, or a fixed syllabus.

Aditya Kabra has run hands-on AI building sessions for Venture Center and IISER Pune.

Experience delivering AI building sessions in science, research, and education settings.

Aditya Kabra is open to short projects and workshops on AI use, especially around science, research, and education.

Workshops can be discussed for organizations seeking practical AI experimentation.

Relevant work

Hands-on experimentation through the AI Study Group

The Pune-based AI Study Group brings people together to experiment with AI tools, domains, and use cases. There are no slides, lectures, or fixed syllabus; participants show up, build, and solve problems together.

The group has met more than 45 times, and around 900 people joined over the past year.

Questions

What you may want to know.

Who are these workshops for?

They are intended for science, research, and education organizations whose participants need practical experience using AI tools.

What happens during a workshop?

Participants experiment with AI tools, build around use cases, and work through challenges collaboratively.

Is this a lecture-based session?

The focus is hands-on building and experimentation rather than only attending lectures.

Can the workshop focus on our participants' use cases?

Yes. The starting point is a conversation about your organization, participants, and the use cases they need to explore.

Next step

Give participants a chance to build with AI

Share your audience, context, and the use cases you want participants to explore in a hands-on workshop.
