Hands-on workshop

3–4 hours · Practical session

Participants practice with an AI tool and learn to judge what it produces.

What participants do

  • Research a site and its audience before anyone writes a prompt
  • Choose a visual direction and describe it precisely
  • Direct an AI tool to build from that direction
  • Decide when the AI’s output isn’t good enough

Who it’s for

Bootcamps and training providers, university classes, and public bodies or NGOs whose staff look after their own site.
