We are thrilled to announce our first-ever content partnership, bringing you a new series of live webinars and pre-recorded materials designed to meet you where you are, whether you're just getting started or looking to go deeper.  This content partnership with IBM SkillsBuild, a free learning platform offering courses, credentials, and career resources in areas like AI, cybersecurity, and data science 

We have always been proud of the community-driven classes we offer; they're engaging, inclusive, and built with our members in mind. But if we're being honest, two things we've consistently struggled with are maintaining a steady content cadence and offering recognized credentials that our community can take with them. That's exactly why we're exploring a partnership with IBM SkillsBuild. Their platform provides the infrastructure to offer more frequent, low-cost learning opportunities alongside industry-recognized credentials, filling two real gaps in what we can provide on our own and ultimately giving our community more ways to grow and get recognized for their skills.

IBM SkillsBuild Data Analytics and AI Course 

This is a great opportunity for more AI and Data Analytics courses.  This June course includes two live workshops paired with 1.5 hours of additional activities and pre-recorded materials so you can go at your own pace.

What to expect: 

📊 Digital Data Gathering, Analysis, and Presentation

Wednesday, June 17, 2026 🕛 12 PM ET (US) | 7 PM GMT+3 (MEA)

Data is everywhere, but knowing how to collect it, make sense of it, and present it clearly? That's a skill. This session will walk you through practical techniques for gathering and organizing data, analyzing it for meaningful insights, and communicating your findings through compelling visualizations. Whether you're in tech, business, or just data-curious, this one's for you.

🤖 Exploring Artificial Intelligence

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 🕛 12 PM ET (US) | 7 PM GMT+3 (MEA)

AI is reshaping work, creativity, and everyday life, and you deserve to understand it on your own terms. This beginner-friendly session breaks down the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, explores how it's being applied across industries, and gives you real-world examples to build your confidence. No jargon, no gatekeeping — just curiosity and clarity.

What You'll Walk Away With

By the end of both sessions, you'll be able to:

• Apply techniques for gathering, cleaning, and analyzing data to draw real insights
• Create professional data presentations that communicate your findings clearly
• Understand core AI principles and how they show up in everyday life
• Recognize AI's potential in problem-solving and decision-making
• Feel more confident engaging with digital tools and AI-driven solutions — at work, in school, or anywhere else

Can't Make the Live Time? No Problem.

Both sessions are offered across two time zones (12 PM ET and 7 PM GMT+3). If neither works with your schedule, we encourage you to register anyway. Recordings will be available after the session so you can learn on your own timeline.

We Want Your Feedback

This is our first partnership of this kind, and we're genuinely excited and a little bit in learning mode ourselves. After you attend, we'll be asking for your feedback on the experience, the content, and what you'd like to see more of. Your voice directly shapes the future of GDI programming, so please don't hold back.

We can't wait to learn alongside you. This is just the start of something we think will be really special for our community. 💜
