What to Expect
This is a projector-based class with instructor-led discussion, demonstrations, and guided exercises. Participants will explore how AI tools can support ideation, planning, and development without replacing fundamental thinking. There will be opportunities for pair-up exercises and student participation throughout the session.
Skills You’ll Learn
