Edmonds College will host its fourth annual AI For Everyone Day on Saturday, June 27, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. 

This free event, titled “Learn, Build, Belong,” promotes lifelong learning for all and is designed for the general public, students, and curious minds of all ages to discover how artificial intelligence fits into their lives, careers, and futures through hands-on education and community connection.

"Our goal at Edmonds College is to ensure AI is accessible to all members of our community, no matter their background," stated Dr. Carey Schroyer, Dean of STEM. "This event is meticulously crafted to demystify artificial intelligence and equip community members with the tools needed to understand its transformative potential in an AI-driven world."

Event Workshops Include:

  • Attendees will get hands-on with Sphero robots as they build and program their own AI-driven behaviors. This fun, beginner-friendly session is great for kids, teens, and adults—no experience needed. Space is limited to keep it highly interactive, so interested participants should reserve their spot on the college event registration page.

• AI Scams and Deepfakes: How to Protect Yourself and Your Family
