This workshop gives participants a grounded, practical understanding of generative AI. Through a series hands-on exercises participants will explore how these tools generate responses, where their limits show up, and how to use them creatively without overestimating their abilities. The goal is creative, informed experimentation grounded in realistic expectations of what the technology can do.

The first 60 minutes will be lecture combined with structured hands-on activities. The remaining 30 minutes is for additional hands-on practice for those interested.
