Bring the AI Sandbox to Your Team
MIDAS offers a menu of AI workshops and seminars that research groups, units, and departments can request. Every session is designed for researchers who may have little or no background in AI. Each one is built around a practical task you can take back to your own work, and each can stand alone, so your group does not need to attend a series.
We can host groups of up to ten people in the MIDAS AI Sandbox, our dedicated space on campus. For larger groups, we are glad to travel to your location and run the session there.
How to Request a Session
Choose one or more workshops from the menu below and tell us your group’s size, your preferred format, and a few words about the research your group does. We will use that information to tailor examples to your discipline. To schedule, please email [email protected], and one of our AI specialists will reach back out to you.

Participants explore how models such as CLIP connect images and text, and how they can classify and search visual collections
Learn how to combine generative AI and AutoML tools to go from a research question to a working predictive model on clinical data, with minimal coding.
A practical overview of where AI can help clinical research, where it can go wrong, and how to use it responsibly within U-M’s policies and resources.
A hands-on session on preparing EEG recordings and building time series models to classify and analyze brain activity
