Practical workshops
Build a shared foundation.
Learn tool choice, prompting, responsible use, workflow design, automation, and AI-assisted building in context.
Explore the workshop formatsFrom learning to implementation
Learn the tools. Apply them to real work.
Start with a practical workshop or bring us a defined implementation challenge. We usually recommend learning together before building.
Consulting & implementation
Move one useful idea forward.
Scope a real use case, choose an appropriate approach, build a first version, and review it responsibly.

Five learning areas
From everyday AI tools to advanced automation.
45, 60, or 90 minutes
The curriculum scales to the time and priorities available.
Online by default
Easy to host for distributed teams and organizations.
Workshop curriculum
From first prompt to connected workflow.
The session moves from choosing tools to applying them across the writing, research, communications, and operations work nonprofits do every day.
Foundations of AI for nonprofits
Start with a clear view of the landscape and match each kind of work to the right tool.
- What modern AI can and cannot do
- Choosing the right AI tool for different tasks
- ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and NotebookLM
Prompt engineering and responsible use
Structure better conversations while keeping privacy, accuracy, and human review in view.
- Effective prompts, conversation structure, and reusable frameworks
- Privacy, confidentiality, hallucinations, and bias
- Human review for fundraising, public communications, legal, and beneficiary-related decisions
Practical nonprofit applications
Connect familiar nonprofit work to specific ways AI can reduce drafting, research, and coordination time.
- Grant writing and donor communications
- Social media, outreach, and educational materials
- Volunteer onboarding, meeting summaries, and document drafting
No-code AI automation
See how Make connects everyday tools into useful, repeatable workflows.
- Summarizing form responses and drafting follow-up emails
- Processing spreadsheets and routing information between apps
- Creating simple AI-powered automations without code
AI coding and advanced automation
Understand what tools such as Claude Code add when a workflow needs to go beyond no-code platforms.
- Small internal tools and repetitive admin automation
- Data analysis and scripting
- Extending workflows beyond the limits of no-code tools
Useful across the organization.
Examples can be shaped around fundraising, communications, volunteer programs, operations, research, or internal knowledge.

Responsible AI for everyday life and building.
A focused introduction to choosing tools, prompting well, thinking critically, and using AI to learn, create, and build.
Four learning areas
From responsible tool choice to building with AI.
45, 60, or 90 minutes
The curriculum scales to the time and priorities available.
Online or in person
Flexible for schools, organizations, and community groups.
Workshop curriculum
From first prompt to something you can build.
The session connects responsible AI use to everyday goals, useful applications, and hands-on building with coding assistants.
Foundations of AI and tool choice
Start with a clear view of what AI can and cannot do, then match different tasks to the right tools.
- What modern AI can and cannot do
- Choosing the right AI tool for different tasks
- ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and coding assistants
Prompt engineering and responsible use
Structure better conversations while keeping privacy, accuracy, critical thinking, and human judgment in view.
- Effective prompts, conversation structure, and reusable frameworks
- Privacy, confidentiality, hallucinations, and bias
- Verification, critical thinking, and knowing when not to use AI
How AI could be used in your life
Connect everyday goals and problems to practical ways general-purpose AI tools can help.
- Learning, research, writing, and planning
- Finding useful applications for a specific goal or idea
- Recognizing when AI adds value and when it does not
Building and coding with AI
Use tools such as Claude Code to turn an idea into something working while keeping human judgment in the loop.
- What coding assistants such as Claude Code can do
- Moving from an idea to a small working project
- Reviewing AI-generated code and checking that it works
Useful in everyday life.
Examples connect general-purpose AI tools and coding assistants to goals participants care about.

Consulting & implementation
Build the right thing with the people who will use it.
Implementation is available directly, but most organizations benefit from beginning with a workshop. Shared understanding helps teams make better choices and own what comes next.
Discuss a projectUnderstand the challenge
Clarify the people, workflow, constraints, and outcome before choosing a tool.
Choose the right approach
Compare tools and decide whether the idea needs a workflow, automation, or small prototype.
Build and review
Move toward a working first version, test it in context, and keep responsible review connected to the work.
Start a conversation
Bring your people and a real challenge.
Tell us about your organization, the tools you are considering, and the workflows or ideas you want to explore.
You can come directly with an implementation challenge. We will recommend a workshop first when shared understanding would make the work stronger.
For kids, teens, and adults, tell us who the workshop is for and what they would like to learn or build. If a useful application emerges, we can discuss the right follow-on support.
