Spring Into AI 2026

Spring Into AI is happening soon at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign! Throughout this Spring series faculty and staff will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops, guest talks, and conversations on how generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) impacts the future of education and beyond. Learn more about the Gen AI at CITL 

The Fall Into AI 2025 series offered a calendar of hybrid events that included 11 hands-on workshops by CITL, 7 guest presentations led by campus partners and 3 hands on workshops facilitated by CITL. The Fall Into AI sessions were popular, averaging 20 attendees. Since Fall was a busy time for many, we recorded several sessions and hope you will find something of interest. You can view the recordings on Mediaspace and Youtube.

In her courses, students are encouraged to learn fashion fundamentals then gradually integrate digital software to bring creations to new levels.
