PÄRNU – Hands-on workshop: AI and creativity – from idea to a working prototype

Need a registration form, a booking sheet or a helper for frequent questions – but no developer? Here you go from idea to a working mini-prototype with AI, without programming.

For whom: specialists, managers, entrepreneurs, teachers and cultural workers with an idea they want to test quickly. Level: for everyone.

Format: 3 hours (4 academic hours), two parts with a break; mostly hands-on work. In part one you define the idea, the user and the desired result. In part two you build and test a prototype and show it to others.

After the workshop you will be able to:

describe an idea as a use case: who it is for, what goes in, what comes out;

choose a free tool suited to the task;

build a mini-prototype – a form, a simple web page or a chat assistant;

assess the prototype's risks (data, rights) and the next step.

Before the workshop: think of one real idea or work problem – without personal data. Bring a laptop; the free version of tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) is enough.
