For 40 years\, using a computer meant learning the computer's language: menus\, buttons\, keyboard shortcuts. Claude Cowork inverts that. The computer learns your language. It reads your files\, connects to your tools\, and takes actions on your behalf. This workshop teaches you how to work with this new kind of computer. One full day. Hands-on. You'll walk out with a working AI workflow you can run at your desk Monday morning.\n\n- Apply Here -\n\nWho this is for:\nYou're a knowledge worker\, with a technical or builder mindset.

Maybe you've used Claude before\, maybe you haven't what matters is that you're comfortable with technology and ready to learn something new.
