Never built with AI before? Heard about Gemini, AI Studio, and "agentic workflows" but not sure where to actually start?

GDG Tulsa hosts an in-person intro session on May 3 designed specifically for first-time builders — career switchers, students, designers, analysts, founders, and anyone who's tired of watching the AI conversation from the sidelines.

We walk the Google AI stack from the absolute beginning: what Gemini is, what AI Studio is, how prompts actually work, and how to go from a one-sentence idea to a working AI-powered demo in a single sitting. The session is structured around a hands-on mini-project — pick a use case (a chatbot, a research assistant, a content generator, or a small automation), and follow along step-by-step. Organizers float the room for one-on-one help with setup, API keys, and the small stuff that usually trips people up.

Attendees leave with: a working AI account on Google's stack, a deployed mini-project they own, a clear mental model of what the tools actually do, and direct connections to the local builder community organizing around AI in Tulsa.
