Description
This comprehensive 6-hour workshop is specifically designed to bridge the gap between basic AI usage and advanced academic application by shifting the focus from simple chat interfaces to sophisticated CLI and IDE environments where participants will master modern development workflows powered by Google Gemini. The curriculum is divided into two core segments starting with a theoretical foundation where participants explore the Gemini ecosystem including the Canvas interface and API tools while mastering advanced Prompt Engineering techniques for refactoring and debugging. This is followed by a practical lab where attendees build an AI-driven mini-project tailored to research or teaching needs with a critical focus placed on the pedagogical shift of helping lecturers analyze AI-generated solutions and redesign student assignments to maintain academic integrity in the GenAI era.
