Geared toward intermediate or occasional spreadsheet users, in this seminar we will demonstrate AI tools within Excel and Google Sheets and show how to use free versions of AI tools like ChatGPT and CoPilot to design and document formulas and spreadsheets. Safe use of AI tools (protecting Lehigh data) will be emphasized and explained.
Learn how to: Save time and boost productivity, automate tasks like scheduling meetings and creating to-do lists; Enhance creativity and collaboration; Unlock the power of AI in your daily work. Learn practical tips and tricks for using Gemini in Google Workspace.
Many know how to “ask” an AI for something but fewer know how to guide it well. This seminar moves past basic prompt tips and focuses on how to get better results by being clearer about intent, expectations, tone, and output. Participants will learn practical prompting frameworks, see real examples of prompts that fail, why they fail, and learn how small changes can dramatically improve outcomes. Attendees will leave with techniques they can use right away to get more useful, reliable responses from any AI LLM.
Curious about how AI tools at Lehigh can enhance your learning and day-to-day work? Attend LTS AI office hours to explore new tools, see how LTS staff use these tools to support teaching and learning, or get your AI questions answered.
Join via Zoom on the last Friday of each month from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. (no registration needed): https://lehigh.zoom.us/my/ltsofficehours
Spring office hours will be held on January 30, February 27, March 27, and April 24.

Do you have ideas for developing software tools but lack the programming knowledge to bring your ideas to life? If you are comfortable using complex applications, capable of navigating your computer's directory structure, and able to articulate your design goals, then vibe coding may be for you! Using Antigravity, Google's new "agent-first IDE", participants will learn to design through specification rather than build with code. We will create a local web application, add some more advanced features, and launch the app locally - all without writing a single line of code.
