Apple’s Creative Studio and iWork Apps 

Are you wondering how the new Creative Studio subscription package will affect your use of the “free” apps: Pages, Keynote, and Numbers? We will explore the new ”premium” features while we have fun learning an easy way to create custom wallpapers in Keynote/Pages, with or without the subscription. **We won’t be talking about the paid “Pro” apps in Creative Studio at this time: Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor and MainStage.

Beginning AI Skills

From building a better prompt to the fundamentals of prompt engineering, this workshop walks Mac users through practical AI skills no matter where you’re starting from. You’ll pick up simple techniques for getting more useful responses — and learn how to adjust and improve them as you go. Whether you’re AI-curious, AI-skeptical, or already experimenting, there’s something here for you — and if you’d like to learn by doing, have your device handy during the Zoom session, though feel free to just sit back and watch it all unfold.
