AI is everywhere these days—helping people write, research, create, and even make everyday decisions faster. Now, Scottsdale Community College (SCC) is making it easier than ever to learn how to use AI tools effectively with a brand-new class: Unlock the Power of AI: Skills for Work, School & Life (CIS 280AB).

This course is for everyone—business professionals, educators, entrepreneurs, students, and anyone curious about how AI can make life a little easier. You’ll explore real-world applications you can use right away. And the best part? No coding experience is required.

Nancy Dedakia, SCC Computer Information Systems faculty, says the class is designed to be practical and approachable: “This class is about demystifying AI and showing students how to use it in empowering ways—whether for work, school, or personal projects.”

By the end of the course, you’ll have a personal toolkit of AI strategies, plus the confidence to use them responsibly and thoughtfully.

Ready to get started? The next class starts Oct. 27, 5 weeks, online on your own time. Register today for CIS 280AB (section 34218) at Scottsdale Community College. For details, contact [email protected].
