Generative AI tools like Gemini can greatly enhance your coding abilities. In this open-ended, hands-on workshop, participants will experiment with AI to build useful, creative, and custom-tailored projects.

Participants will explore prompting, iteration, and troubleshooting while creating a "proof-of-concept" live product. Bring your own idea, or use the instructor-led sandbox for inspiration and experimentation. Expect to try things, break things, and learn what works!
