AI Users Group: Kickoff Meeting

🎉 Calling All AI Curious! The "Normie" AI Users Group Is Meeting at Newman University!

Have you been hearing about AI everywhere but aren't sure where to start? Tried ChatGPT once or twice and thought, "Okay… now what?" Then this meeting is made for YOU.
📅 When: Tuesday July 28th
🕕 Time: 6:00 – 7:30 PM
📍 Where: Newman University BGSC 104
(Superusers meet earlier from 4:00 – 5:30 PM — but the evening session is all about beginners!)

Wait — what's a "Normie"?
A "normie" is a regular person — not a programmer, not a tech guru — who's just starting to explore AI. And honestly? It's the best label you can have right now. Normies are the fresh eyes. You haven't picked up bad habits, you ask the questions everyone else is too embarrassed to ask, and you represent the vast majority of people who will actually use AI in everyday life and work. Every expert was a normie once — the only difference is they started. This is your start.

What's on the agenda?
🤖 "Do More" — presented by Scott Person. Scott will take us on a journey into either AI and robots or Hermes and data organization — either way, you'll walk away with ideas you can actually use. (Come find out which one it'll be!) 💬 AI Learning Resources — discussion facilitated by Rob Martin. Where do you actually go to learn this stuff? We'll share the best free courses, videos, newsletters, and tools for people just getting started — and you'll leave with a real learning roadmap.

This is a HANDS-ON meeting! 💻
Don't just watch — do! Bring your laptop and bring your questions. Members of the Super User Group will be on hand all evening to sit down with you, troubleshoot, and help you get unstuck. No question is too basic. Seriously. Ask the "dumb" question — five other people in the room are wondering the same thing.

Who should come?

• You've never used AI but you're curious
• You've dabbled but want to do more
• You want to meet other beginners (you're in good company!)
• You learn best by trying things with friendly people nearby

No experience required. No jargon allowed. Just curiosity. Bring your computer, bring your questions, bring a friend — and let's figure this AI thing out together!
