Hands-on session exploring real-world Gen AI tools:

  • Participants break into teams and draft a lesson plan or assignment using ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral AI or Perplexity.
  • Apply prompt engineering basics to generate custom syllabi, objectives, and assessment resources. CRAFT methodology and advanced perspective on prompting (CoT, prompting agents, etc.)

  • Exploring co-teaching models (tech + business faculty)
  • Drafting prototypes of new courses and programs

Participants will work in small groups (using AI and design thinking methodology) and produce draft curriculum elements that can be tested in their own institutions
