Wellingborough residents can explore the world of artificial intelligence at a free morning workshop later this month. Organised by Corby Learning Centre, the ‘Understanding AI’ session runs on Thursday, 23 July 2026 at Tresham College’s Wellingborough Campus on Church Street.
The three-hour workshop starts at 9:00am, with doors opening 15 minutes earlier, and is open to anyone aged 19 and over. Free parking is available on site. Attendees will learn what artificial intelligence is, how it can be used, and the risks and benefits involved, with a focus on using the technology safely and ethically.
The event taps into a growing demand for digital skills across Northamptonshire. A similar AI Automation Workshop ran at Vulcan Works in Northampton in May, though that session was aimed at early-stage business owners. Aspire Education Academy also runs free AI workshops available to anyone in the community, with several online options listed on its website. The Corby Learning Centre session is designed as an accessible, informal introduction for local adults.
Wellingborough Town Council, which promotes community events through its online noticeboard and the WOW What’s on Wellingborough initiative, regularly lists workshops and training opportunities for residents. Spaces for the AI session remain available, and registration is open now via Eventbrite. The venue postcode is NN8 4PD.
