Aaron Makelky is an educator, football coach, and workshop facilitator based in Wyoming in the United States. [[1]](#cite_note-1) A former Wyoming teacher and football coach, he runs AI workshops, school trainings, speaking, and consulting for people who do not write code. [[1]](#cite_note-1) He works remotely from Wyoming. [[2]](#cite_note-2)

His public website describes workshops built around work a group already has: participants try that work in the room and check the result. [[1]](#cite_note-1) He publishes field notes, small tools, and public GitHub repositories. [[3]](#cite_note-3) [[4]](#cite_note-4)

## Teaching and coaching

Makelky taught and coached football in Wyoming before working in technology. [[2]](#cite_note-2) His website identifies him as a former Wyoming teacher and football coach. [[1]](#cite_note-1)

A public coaching site, 307 Pediatrics Grizzlies Practice Plans, publishes practice plans in the context of the Casper Junior Football League (CJFL). [[5]](#cite_note-5)

## Workshops and consulting

The public site lists three ways to work with him: workshops and school training; speaking; and one-job-at-a-time consulting-style tests. [[1]](#cite_note-1) He tests AI tools on real work and turns useful parts into workshops, notes, and small tools. [[2]](#cite_note-2)

The about page says testing must handle a rushed calendar, a messy spreadsheet, and a person who does not care how clever a model is. [[2]](#cite_note-2) Intro booking is available via Cal.com. [[6]](#cite_note-6)

### Approach

Useful beats impressive; teach the skill not the wrapper; no brand deals and no sponsored praise. [[2]](#cite_note-2)
