This presentation explores effective strategies for engaging faculty resistant to AI integration in the classroom by hosting culinary-themed workshops. Attendees will learn how to design and implement workshops that feature interactive roundtables with artisanal food (cheese, chocolate, and beer) while discussing practical approaches to AI in education. The workshop title, "Artisanal AI," reflects our commitment to preserving the artistry and craft of original thinking in an age of technology. Participants will leave with a framework for crafting their own engaging workshops that foster collaboration and innovation while emphasizing the importance of original thought.
