Detailed Schedule :

Day 3: 07/26 | 5:30 – 8:30 EST | Workshop Intro + Overview of ChatGPT and Midjourney, Intro to prompt engineering

Before diving into the main learning activities, the session begins with an introduction to Generative AI, followed by an overview of Chat GPT for text generation, including an introduction to prompt engineering and automatic prompting for generating Midjourney prompts. Next, participants are introduced to Midjourney AI for image generation, covering the basics and exploring interesting techniques and commands. This section includes an exercise where participants generate images based on specific requirements, utilizing provided resources.

Day 4: 07/27 | 5:30 – 8:30 EST | Understanding key elements + understanding prompt structure + image generation exercise + Q&A

The session begins with a focus on understanding key elements of domain knowledge through action learning, involving activities such as identifying key elements using GPT prompts, testing these elements, and creating a key element library. This is followed by a section on understanding prompt structure, where participants build their own prompt structures and generate a Midjourney prompt table using GPT. The next part involves generating images based on the developed prompt structures and testing these prompts for further development. The session concludes with a wrap-up and Q&A, where key learnings and insights are recapped.

Day 5: 07/28 | 5:30 – 8:30 EST | Assigned tasks + Discussion

Participants will start implementing everything they have learned through assigned tasks. After completing these tasks, they will share and discuss their ideas, processes, and techniques related to Generative AI with both workshop participants and speakers. The session will conclude with a recap of key learnings and insights, followed by an open floor for questions and further discussions.
