AICHR | Peninsula Builders Study Group
New AI tools are dropping every week. Bookmarks are piling up. “To-be-studied” lists are growing faster than we can keep up with. Sound familiar? Peninsula Builders Study Group is a local initiative for students and developers of the Peninsula area who want to stop meaning to learn and start actually doing it—together. There’s no pressure to be an expert, and no bootcamp intensity. Just a consistent habit, a room full of curious people, and the accountability that comes from showing up. How it works: We meet every two weeks on Tuesdays from 6:00–7:30 PM at CNU.
