The Bean Path to host AI Month
SUMMARY: AI Month at the Bean Path is all about demystifying artificial intelligence, making it accessible to everyone. Events include family day, senior AI gardening, deep dives into tech, and creative workshops. AI is becoming pervasive in all aspects of life, including education.
