May AI Meetup: Innovation, Creativity, and the Power of Play

In this interactive workshop, you’ll explore how AI can become your creative co-pilot, helping you remix old ideas into fresh insights, discover patterns you might have missed, and stretch your thinking beyond the obvious.

Whether you're designing, writing, leading, or problem-solving, AI can help you unlock unexpected ideas and push through creative blocks faster than ever before.

We'll introduce practical tools and exercises to show how AI can enhance—not replace—your own perspective. You’ll learn how to collaborate with language models as brainstorming companions, spark surprising outputs from divergent prompts, and shape raw AI content into meaningful and original ideas.

This session is perfect for curious minds who want to break out of ruts and supercharge their imagination with a digital thinking partner.

• Generate novel ideas by combining concepts through AI-powered remixing
• Practice curiosity as a skill, using AI to explore unfamiliar angles and unexpected outputs
• Strengthen your creative process with structured divergence and playful experimentation
