Building A Rural AI Literacy Group At Your Library

If you've made it through this track, you know enough to teach others. Rural libraries are the perfect venue: they're trusted, free, accessible, and already wired. The hard part is showing up consistently for six months.

1. 1Week 1: What AI is and isn't — 30 minutes of demos on whatever device folks brought
2. 2Week 2: Writing a good prompt — bring real tasks from real lives
3. 3Week 3: AI for daily admin — emails, letters, plans
4. 4Week 4: AI for research — and how to verify what it tells you
5. 5Week 5: Privacy, safety, and when NOT to use AI
6. 6Week 6: Open lab — every person leaves with one thing they got AI to help them do

The point isn't to turn neighbors into prompt engineers. It's to remove the fear and let people see that they can already use these tools for their own actual lives. After 6 weeks, they teach each other.
