Fort Wayne AI

At tomorrow's AI in FW meetup we’re hosting an Ask Anything AI session: an open conversation shaped by the questions, concerns, ideas, and experiences coming from this community. If you haven’t grabbed your seat, there are still a handful left.

We’re opening this up to the community as a space for both asking and answering questions.

I’ll also be joined by three community members, Kai Blakeborough, Austin Aldrich, Gabe Koehlinger - each bringing different experiences and perspectives, to help guide the conversation.

And, a note on the Pre-Meetup Cohort
Kai Blakeborough will be hosting a conversation about thoughtful AI use at 9 AM. If you’re interested in joining, there’s no extra registration needed. Just show up in the Indiana Tech Keene Building lobby.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

The June Fort Wayne AI Meetup is next Friday, June 12th at 10am and we're switching up the format!

I’ll be joined by three community members as we tackle AI questions submitted by attendees.

But this isn’t just a Q&A panel discussion. We’ll be encouraging audience participation, too.

The goal is to tap into the collective knowledge of the community for a dynamic and enlightening session.

[Virtual Option] May AI in Fort Wayne Community Meetup Jump in virtually to see our AI demos, conversations, and connections with an in-person local community learning AI together.

We’re so excited to announce that Fort Wayne is hosting the AI Bootcamps Bootcamp again this year!! Kicking off the planning now!! 🤖

You know why our AI meetups sell out every month? It's because of the coffee and donuts. I'm serious. Not the tech, not the people. The coffee, and the donuts.

That's why I want to give a huge shout out to the Better Business Bureau and MapleTronics who come in clutch for us with these two necessities.

Hopefully I'll remember my printed sponsor signs Friday so I don't have to do another hand-drawn one like last month (lol!)

We have a completely packed house Friday, I'll see you then!

If you didn't get tickets for the in-person meetup you can join the wait list, or you can jump in virtually.

This Friday is our monthly AI in Fort Wayne meetup—join us in person or virtually. The in-person session is almost sold out, so grab a seat if you’re planning to attend (and please release yours if your plans have changed).

Here’s what’s lined up:
• 2 new partnership announcements
• 3 live demos
• A community conversation based on last month’s survey—where an overwhelming majority of people said that time is the biggest barrier to learning AI. We’ll dig into how real people are actually working through that.

📍 Indiana Tech – Keen Building, 3rd Floor

Also, a very important thank you to the real MVPs:
☕ Coffee from Better Business Bureau
🍩 Donuts from MapleTronics

See you Friday. RSVP links are in the comments—join the waitlist if we’re full.

The April AI in FW meetup is this Friday. I'll announce demos tomorrow!

Free to attend, but please RSVP.

Google for Education has just launched the inaugural Google Higher Ed Faculty AI Fellowship, and applications for the 2026 cohort are officially open!

If you are a university faculty member actively integrating AI into your teaching, research, or institutional strategy, this is your chance to move beyond the classroom and become a strategic change agent.

The fellowship will offer:
Global Networking: Join an exclusive community of academic pioneers to investigate the systemic impact of AI on higher education.

Institutional Transformation: Tackle a major "Impact Challenge" at your university—whether that is evolving assessment models, crafting responsible AI policies, or scaling personalized curriculum.

Leadership: Help set new global standards for responsible AI adoption in academia.

To apply, you'll need to propose your Impact Challenge, submit a brief "Portfolio of Innovation," record a 90-second video sharing your vision, and provide a letter of recommendation from your Dean or Program Chair.

Tag a professor or academic leader who needs to see this! 👇
