🎨 Using AI for Family Fun and Learning! 🎙️

Last night, my kids and I had a blast experimenting with AI tools like Google's Image FX and DALL-E. The results were goofy (think potty humor), but the learning was real: from creative thinking to understanding how AI works.

📝 Check out the blog post about how my family turned AI into a fun, educational family activity.

Last night, I spent a few hilarious hours with my kids exploring the world of AI image generators. We compared Google’s image generator with DALL-E, and let’s just say the subject matter was… immature, but oh-so-entertaining! The creative prompts from my children — inspired by their fascinat...

🎅 You’ll never guess who’s helping Parks and Rec professionals these days… Santa Claus! 🎄

I just had to share this video where Santa talks about the same challenges we all face in Parks and Recreation — managing programs, coordinating staff, and keeping facilities running smoothly — all while striving to serve our communities better.

The good news? Santa’s excited about a solution that’s both practical and approachable: Artificial Intelligence.

The upcoming virtual session, "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for Parks and Recreation Professionals", is exactly what Parks and Rec teams need to simplify their day-to-day tasks.

Led by Jason Peters and Sam Lunt of GovTech Innovators, this session is designed to:

✅ Break down AI tools (like ChatGPT and Large Language Models) in plain English.
✅ Show real-world applications for marketing, HR, program optimization, and financial analysis.
✅ Teach practical skills, like prompt engineering, to help you save hours each week.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by AI but want to see how it can make your work faster and easier, this session is for you.

🎥 Check out the video featuring “Santa” (a fellow Parks and Rec pro 😉), and let me know if you’re as excited as I am to bring these tools to our teams!

Let’s stay ahead, work smarter, and keep serving our communities at the highest level.

Meet Sarah, a Parks and Rec grant writer with 10 years of experience, who felt stuck in a cycle of long, grueling hours and unpredictable results. Sarah knew her programs deserved the best funding, but the grant-writing process always seemed to consume more time than it delivered results.

Here’s how this hands-on workshop is designed to help Sarah and could help you too:
✅ Find the Perfect Grants in Record Time: Advanced search strategies and tools to discover high-potential opportunities.

Sora has been all the buzz lately, but does it live up to the hype? After about 45 minutes of testing, here’s what we’ve found: it has some impressive capabilities but also plenty of room for improvement.

Test 1: Cicada Driving a Zamboni
This is my go-to test for any new AI generation tool. Sora did better than others I’ve tried but still missed the mark—turning the Zamboni into what looked more like a golf cart.

Test 2: Jeep Doing Donuts
I uploaded an image of a Jeep and asked Sora to create a video of it doing donuts. Unfortunately, the results weren’t even close—not worth sharing this time.

Test 3: Black Squirrel Smoking a Cigar
I generated a picture of a black squirrel with Canva Dream Lab, uploaded it to Sora, and asked it to create a video of the squirrel smoking a cigar. The result? Surprisingly fun! It’s far from perfect, but it’s the best I’ve seen so far.

Sora shows a lot of potential, especially compared to other tools, but there’s still plenty of room for refinement. If you’ve tried it out, I’d love to hear about your experiences — what worked, what didn’t, and what surprised you!

Happy Friday!
