Join The Upskilling Labs, a civic learning community open to all, focused on building practical skills with emerging technologies like AI.
You're invited to Meet the Pods!
Pods are small communities of upskillers who have formed around thematic problems they have prioritized. At Meet the Pods, Upskillers will share their problem statement research and findings to date, and will solicit input from invited healthcare, health systems, and emerging tech experts.
Meetups are preceded by upskilling workshops. The workshops designed for upskillers in the build cycle, but are open to the public!

About The Upskilling Labs
The Upskilling Labs is a fast-growing civic learning community bringing together mission-driven professionals to explore how emerging tech (AI and others) and skill-sharing can unlock new value for our local communities. The Upskilling Labs Meetups are a great place to come together with like-minded people to explore and experiment with emerging technologies like AI.
Join us to kick off our Monthly Innovation Meetup Series. This quarter's theme: Health
Meetups convene community around quarterly themes, with each three-month cycle following a structured progression, generally happening on second Tuesdays of the month. Over the course of each cycle, you can plug in at any time. Expect to take a deep dive into problem areas in each industry and work with other upskillers in a hands-on project to help explore applications of emerging technologies as potential solutions.
This cycle repeats quarterly with new themes, creating sustained engagement while allowing flexibility for participants to join at any point or contribute to multiple cycles, and work on their projects as long as they would like to. The working themes are as follows: Q1 - Health, Q2 - Climate and Environment, Q3 - Technology and Trust.
