Curious about AI but not sure where to start? This beginner-friendly, 2-hour session demystifies artificial intelligence and shows how to put it to work in everyday life. You'll learn what AI actually is (and isn't), explore free tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, and practice the RACE framework for writing prompts that get real, usable results. We'll cover practical uses for work, home, and daily life from polishing a resume to planning a family trip plus how to stay safe from deepfakes and AI scams and protect your privacy. The session ends with guided, hands-on practice, so you'll leave with your own ready-to-use prompt kit you can start using that day. No experience needed just bring your phone or laptop and your curiosity. Open to anyone exploring AI for work, home, or fun.

Built in 1885 on the site of a former church morgue, the Squirrel Cage Jail is one of only three rotating jails remaining in the country and Iowa's most documented paranormal location. Four people died here during its years of operation, and reports of unexplained footsteps, moving doors, and disembodied voices have continued long after it closed in 1969. Tonight you'll conduct your own two-hour investigation of all three floors, working in small groups with equipment provided by IWCC. What you find or don't find goes into your investigation journal for our final session.

October13th 7PM-9PM  

The historic Rock Island Depot has served as a crossroads for generations of Council Bluffs residents arrivals, departures, and everything in between. Now home to the Rails West Train Museum, the building carries the weight of that history in its original woodwork, ticketing areas, and main hall. Tonight's investigation focuses on the unexplained sounds, cold spots, and visual anomalies that have been reported inside. Working in small groups with IWCC-provided equipment, you'll conduct EVP sessions and document any activity you encounter, adding your findings to your investigation journal.

October 20th 7PM-9PM  

One of Council Bluffs' oldest burial grounds, Fairview Cemetery holds markers dating back to 1826 and serves as the final resting place for many of the city's earliest settlers. At its heart stands the Ruth Anne Dodge Memorial a bronze angel sculpted by Daniel Chester French, creator of the Lincoln Memorial commissioned to honor Ruth Anne Dodge's deathbed visions of an angel offering the water of life. Visitors have long reported feelings of disorientation, unexpected emotional responses, and electronics malfunctions near the statue. Tonight you'll conduct the series' final on-site investigation as a group, gathering your last round of evidence before next week's review.
