Text Prompting for Creative AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the creative world, opening up new possibilities for generating original content in text, images, music, and video. But turning this cutting-edge technology into a real creative advantage depends on one key skill: your ability to communicate effectively with AI. This communication happens through "prompts," the instructions or questions you give to guide the system’s output. Crafting effective prompts, known as prompt engineering, is both an art and a science. It's not just about what you ask, but how you ask it so the AI can deliver results that are creative, targeted, and aligned with your vision. In this session, you'll learn the essential principles of prompt engineering that apply across all creative AI tools, giving you a strong foundation to unlock AI's full potential in your work.

Please bring your laptop to take part in hands-on creative exercises.

After the session, you're welcome to join us for lunch at one of the many great spots along Lincoln Avenue.
