Practical AI Workshops for public health teams
Hands-on training that helps staff use AI for real tasks with clear boundaries, public-health examples, and human review.
Backyard-AI workshops are designed for public health departments, nonprofits, universities, coalitions, recovery organizations, and mission-driven teams that want useful AI training without hype.
Why workshops help
Give your team shared language and practical confidence.
AI adoption often becomes messy when staff experiment on their own without shared expectations. A practical workshop gives teams a common foundation: what AI can help with, what it should not be used for, how to write better prompts, how to review outputs, and how to choose workflows that fit their real work.

A clear introduction to how AI tools work, where they can help, what their limitations are, and how to use them responsibly in public health settings.
AI for Reporting and Program Documentation
Use AI to support monthly summaries, leadership briefs, grant reports, program updates, and internal documentation without losing accuracy or context.
AI for Communication and Plain Language
Practice using AI to draft, revise, and review audience-specific public health messages, newsletters, flyers, social posts, and internal communication.
