Are you a teenager interested in the fascinating world of artificial intelligence and coding? Join British Council’s AI experts for an exciting workshop designed to introduce you to the basics of AI, chatbots and programming.
In this event, we’ll recreate a classic arcade game using ChatGPT, a large language model, before putting your pitching skills to the test with the chance to demo your game and win prizes.
No prior experience or knowledge is required – just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm!
Agenda:
4:15-4:30pm – Registration at the British Council reception
4:30-5:15pm – Brief of the task from our instructors, group allocation and introductory exercises (introduction to ChatGPT, Jupyter Notebook interface, Python libraries, how to build/test a game)
5:15-6:00pm – Main task Part 1 (building one of four pre selected game types with the assistance of one instructor per 3 students)
6:00-6:30pm – Refreshment break
6:30-7:00pm – Main task Part 2 (testing game and writing the final pitch)
7:00-7:45pm – Final pitch, demos and prizes (5 mins per group and prizes)
Please note: Minimum age to participate is 13, due to ChatGPT minimum sign-up age.
Please bring your own laptop, as we cannot guarantee we’ll be able to provide one on the day, and may only be able to provide one for a few participants.
Please create your own free ChatGPT account to use during the workshop. An account can be created here.
