Welcome to Serious Play, a short, hands-on webinar series where we explore new AI tools together. In this session, academyEX Lead Facilitator Evey Burilin takes a look at Nano Banana, a free, secure, and surprisingly versatile digital tool. You’ll see what it does, how it works, and where it might fit into your everyday work or learning.

Transformation isn’t a skill. It’s a practice you’re already in. In the Master of Technological Futures, many learners explore AI without being technical experts. They don’t start with tools or code, they start with real questions from their own work.
