Workshop Description 
This workshop is designed to help students use AI tools to work faster and better in school and in the workplace. Students learn how to select the right AI tool for a task, write higher-quality prompts, iterate efficiently, and verify and revise AI-assisted work into professional outputs.

  • Practical introduction to generative AI and common tool categories
  • Tool-selection guidance (which AI tools to use for what types of tasks)
  • Prompting frameworks and reusable prompt templates
  • Verification and revision techniques to improve accuracy and professionalism
  • Hands-on activity: source-to-slide workflow culminating in a simple AI-assisted PowerPoint

Prerequisites
