| 19 | + |
| 20 | +These materials are used in NC State University Libraries' Data Science Services workshops covering practical AI workflows in Google Colab. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +[Register for the workshop](https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/workshops/colab-and-chill-vibe-coding-approach-exploratory-data-analysis-using-ai/2026-03-12) |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +--- |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Quick start |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +1. Click the workshop badge above to open in Colab. |
| 29 | +2. If you want to save your work, use "Copy to Drive". |
| 30 | +3. Run cells top-to-bottom. |
| 31 | +4. Use the solutions notebook after attempting the learner notebook. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## Included notebooks |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +- Colab and Chill - Emergency Room Wait Time Data Analysis content in the `workshops/colab-and-chill/` path. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Learning objectives |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- Navigate the AI landscape by distinguishing between "Knower" tools and "Doer" tools for different stages of analysis. |
| 40 | +- Apply the PARTS framework: Persona, Aim, Recipients, Theme, Structure. |
| 41 | +- Use Google Colab AI workflows to support exploratory analysis through inspectable code and iterative prompting. |
| 42 | +- Reduce hallucination risk by asking AI to generate code you can review and rerun. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## Solutions |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +- Colab and Chill - Solutions |
| 47 | + <a href="https://colab.research.google.com/github/NCSU-Libraries/ai-workshops/blob/main/workshops/colab-and-chill/colab-and-chill-solutions.ipynb"><img alt="Open in Colab - Solutions: Colab and Chill" src="https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg"></a> |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +## Use on Google Colab |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +This repository is designed to run directly in Google Colab. No software installation is needed for the workshop itself. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### Open in Colab |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +1. Click a badge above to open directly in Colab. |
| 56 | +2. Prefer to run locally? See the [LOCAL.md](LOCAL.md) guide. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Alternatively, in Colab: File -> Open Notebook -> GitHub tab -> paste the repo URL `https://github.com/NCSU-Libraries/ai-workshops`. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +### Run the notebooks |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +After the notebook opens: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +1. Review the workshop goals and setup notes. |
| 65 | +2. Run the cells in order. |
| 66 | +3. Duplicate the notebook to your Drive if you want to keep changes. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +### Troubleshooting |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +- If a notebook opens read-only, use "Copy to Drive" before editing. |
| 71 | +- If a browser extension blocks some Colab UI, try a private or incognito window. |
| 72 | +- If a workshop analysis cell fails because a dataset file is missing, place the required files under `workshops/colab-and-chill/data/`. |
