Workshop

Join us for a hands-on workshop where you will develop a foundational understanding of the cutting-edge technologies that drive Generative AI (GenAI) tools. Through practical exercises, you will explore the common risks and challenges associated with their use and acquire the essential skills to confidently navigate and utilize today's GenAI tools in your day-to-day work.

The workshop will introduce the concept of resilience by defining personal resilience and encouraging participants to reflect on the University of Waterloo Values and the future of work. Participants will be sub-divided into groups with a set of LEGO bricks that will be used to co-create an elephant that will then be subject to changing conditions.

In an ongoing commitment to reconciliation, the University of Waterloo recognizes the importance of acknowledging and respecting Indigenous identities. This workshop will explore the recently established Indigenous Citizenship/Membership Verification Guidelines, providing staff with a deeper understanding of the purpose and implications. We will explore how staff can collaborate with Office of Indigenous Relations to ensure a smooth and respectful verification process.
