You do not need a computer science degree to learn AI in Winnipeg. You need a starting point, a real task to practise on, and people to learn with. Here is the path we recommend.
Step 1: learn the basics, free, in one week.
- Spend 20 minutes a day with one AI assistant. Ask it to explain things, summarize documents and draft emails.
- Follow our seven day plan for non technical beginners. It needs no code.
Step 2: practise on your own work.
- Pick one repeated task: reports, meeting notes, customer replies or scheduling.
- Use AI on it every day for two weeks and write down the time you save.
- That number is what convinces your manager, or a future employer.
Step 3: join the Winnipeg AI community.
- HYPER Winnipeg 2026, In the blink of AI (November 26), with New Media Manitoba.
- Local workshops, talks and meetups listed on our Winnipeg page, updated every week.
Paid courses help once you know what you want to build. Before you pay, ask three questions: will I work on a real project, will someone review my work, and will I meet people in my field?
