AI - What, How & Why? FREE Workshops for Over 50’s

Facilitated by The Place at Community Spaces across Lake Macquarie & Newcastle

The Place is excited to be taking our FREE AI Workshops for over 50’s to other community spaces in Lake Macquarie and Newcastle!

In June we’re running two sessions that will cover what AI really is and show you simple, practical and fun ways you can use it in daily life. See the locations and dates/times below:


Edgeworth Neighbourhood Centre - Wed 17th June, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Bonnells Bay Youth & Community Centre - Thurs 25th June, 10:30 am - 1:30 pm


These workshops are relaxed and friendly, designed especially for over 50's. You’ll learn how AI can help with tasks such as finding information, planning activities or trips and exploring hobbies and interests. We'll also provide key tips for using AI safely.


Please bring your own device if you have one (phone, tablet or laptop). If you don’t have a device don't worry - we have devices available for you to use.


A light lunch and refreshments will also be provided.
