HYBRID: Hands-on with Google Gemini
Monday May 19, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm PDT
Hybrid (Smith Hall & Zoom)
Google Gemini is now available with your Lewis & Clark account. Join us in person or online for this special hands-on introduction to using Google Gemini chat. Learn more how you (and our students) might use GenAI tools like Gemini. Given the free and widely advertised free access to students to popular and powerful GenAI tools like Gemini, OpenAI and Copilot, it's a great time to share and learn with LC colleagues about these tools.

Deep dive participants will create a V0.1 of their project

In this context a prototype is not a finished product! It could be:
  1. A well-defined custom instruction set for a custom GPT or Gem.
  2. A structured document of prompts to achieve a workflow.
  3. A NotebookLM instance with initial sources and guiding questions.
