Level up your AI skills in this hands-on, student-centered workshop on prompt engineering using the CLEAR framework. This session will demystify how tools like text-based AI models respond to prompts—and how you can guide them to produce better results.

Through practical examples and interactive activities, you’ll explore common student use cases for prompt engineering. You’ll then learn how to apply the CLEAR framework step-by-step to write prompts that are clear, well-structured, and purpose-driven.

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

- Identify student use cases for prompt engineering in natural language processing, with a focus on ethical and effective academic support.
- Implement the CLEAR framework to craft generative AI prompts that return relevant, accurate, and thorough text-based outputs.


Whether you’re new to generative AI or looking to sharpen your skills, this workshop offers a supportive environment to experiment, ask questions, and build confidence using AI as a thoughtful academic tool. Come curious—you’ll leave empowered to prompt with purpose and clarity.
