FAQ
What exactly is the "AI Playground"?
It's a place where 50+ professionals, teams, and curious minds come together each month to explore AI through hands-on experimentation and peer learning. Think creative jam session, not lecture hall.
I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?
Absolutely. Most attendees felt they were "at the same level" and not as far behind as they thought. All skill levels are welcome.
What if I don't have a specific project?
Perfect. Many attendees discover their project through conversations. Come to learn, observe, and get inspired.
Is this a networking event or a learning session?
It's both. We believe the best learning happens through connection. You'll make valuable contacts while solving real problems together.
What if my computer doesn't work or I have technical issues?
No problem. Some of our best conversations happened when technology failed. The value is in the human connections and shared problem-solving.
Will it be too noisy? I have trouble focusing in crowds.
We've heard this feedback and now provide designated quiet zones and better audio management for different learning styles.
What should I bring?
Just your laptop and curiosity. We provide snacks, drinks, and conversation starters. No preparation required.
Why Friday afternoon? That's not ideal for me.
Based on feedback, we're exploring additional time slots like weekday lunch (12–1 PM) or evening (5–7 PM). Join our newsletter for updates.

Human connection, even for science and tech
What really stood out was just how cool people were and that human connection, even though we're there for science, technology, AI, and tools.
Ready to start building together?
No catch. No upsell. Just a community-sponsored space to explore AI with peers who get it.
