Ideate, Research, Create, Test: A Generative AI Workshop

Generative AI’s blank canvas can be daunting. Unbelievable possibility waits in that Gemini, ChatGPT, or Claude form field on the screen, but it can be hard to know where to start because of its unspoken utility. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll use generative AI together to practice four steps that mimic the design thinking process: ideation, research, creation, and testing. Participants will practice each step as they create one of the following: a story, professional writing, an image, or a lifehack. As we progress through the four steps together, participants will gain insights into ways generative AI, as a thinking partner, research assistant, creative collaborator, and critical evaluator, can enhance their work regardless of their area of study or practice.
