Class 10: Prompt Engineering – Talking to AI Effectively

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to write effective prompts for AI tools
• Understand the importance of clear instructions
• Practice iterative refinement of prompts
• Apply prompt engineering to creative projects

Key Topics:

• What is a prompt? (Instructions given to AI)
• Elements of good prompts:
  • Be specific and clear
  • Provide context
  • Specify desired format
  • Include examples when helpful
• The iterative process: Ask → Review → Refine → Repeat
• Prompt engineering for different tasks (writing, image generation, problem-solving)

Activities:

• Prompt writing workshop: Students create increasingly effective prompts
• Challenge: Generate the most accurate AI image from a written prompt
• Comparative analysis: Testing different prompt styles
• Creative project: Using prompts to generate story elements, character descriptions, or artwork
