Tired of tech workshops that feel alien? We start where you are. In this session, you will learn the fundamentals of Generative AI through the lens of art and creativity. We’ll move beyond the hype and focus on practical, actionable skills.

What you will do:

• Understand AI as a new kind of artistic tool.
• Learn the art of “prompt engineering” (how to talk to AI to get the results you envision).
• See a live demo of AI being used to develop assets for an independent project.
• Get hands-on with creative activities.

What you will get:

• A foundational understanding of AI image generation and its ethical use.
• Practical skills you can immediately apply to your own artistic practice.
• The confidence to explore AI tools further.
• A chance to connect with other creatives on campus.

Please bring: A laptop or tablet to use during the hands-on activities.

No prior tech or AI knowledge is required, just your creativity!
