# 01. One useful draft. One human check. Write a clear prompt and improve a neighbourhood invitation. ## Facilitator preflight Bring laptops, internet, a projector and these local course files. Check tool access before the meetup. Keep samples free of personal information. Quick win: A short invitation using only four fictional facts. Prerequisites: No technical experience. ### Tools and cost notes - **An available AI chat tool or a partner.**: Prepared before the meetup.. Use an existing permitted account. No API key needed. ## Run of show | Slide | Minutes | Activity | |---|---:|---| | 1 | 3 | One useful draft.

This is a 60-minute in-person laptop session after preflight. No setup-duration guarantee. Core first, extensions second. ## 2. Before you start. Use an existing permitted account. No API key needed. The facilitator verifies accounts, installed tools and model/host connections before the session. Pair up if setup is incomplete. Do not create accounts or incur costs without understanding the provider terms. ## 3. Your first small win. Quick win: A short invitation using only four fictional facts. Aim for a visible result in the first 15 minutes after preflight. Explain that generated code/output is untested until the learner checks it. If tools are unavailable, inspect the prepared example with a partner. Copyable prompt: [Open prompt](index.html#01-quick-win) ```text Write a friendly invitation under 60 words. Fictional practice facts: Saturday, 10:00, community room, free entry. Do not add speakers, food or booking links. Leave missing details blank. ``` ## 4. What happens between input and output? Ask a learner to explain each stage in their own words. This is a teaching model, not a promise that all tools behave identically. ## 5. Step 01. Choose a small task. Perform these numbered actions on the laptop. Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material.

Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material. Source: [NIST: Generative AI Profile](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/NIST.AI.600-1.pdf) ## 7. Step 03. Check the draft. Perform these numbered actions on the laptop. Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material. Source: [NIST: Generative AI Profile](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/NIST.AI.600-1.pdf) ## 8. Step 04. Revise one thing. Perform these numbered actions on the laptop. Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material. Source: [NIST: Generative AI Profile](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/NIST.AI.600-1.pdf) ## 9. Make the working version. Use fictional practice inputs. Ask learners to show their work, not just the final answer. Copyable prompt: [Open prompt](index.html#01-build) ```text Rewrite my invitation in simpler English, under 40 words. Keep only Saturday, 10:00, community room and free entry. Do not add promises or links. Return one title and the message. ``` ## 10. Ask for a review. Then check it. Use fictional practice inputs. Ask learners to show their work, not just the final answer. Copyable prompt: [Open prompt](index.html#01-review) ```text Compare this invitation with the confirmed facts: Saturday, 10:00, community room, free entry. List unsupported claims and missing information. Do not invent replacements. Invitation: [paste draft]. ``` ## 11. Prove your result works. These are manual acceptance tests for the learner to perform. No test is claimed to have run merely because it appears here. Ask pairs to demonstrate one pass and one corrected failure. ## 12. When it does not work yet. Choose the observed symptom. Change one thing and rerun the smallest test. Avoid restarting the whole project or adding tools before diagnosing the current step. ## 13. Choose your next challenge. Experienced learners use the extensions while beginners complete the same core outcome. An extension is optional, not a prerequisite for participating. ## 14. Keep the result. Keep the evidence. Save the working version before leaving. Add a short note: what worked, what needed correction and what you would try next. The next module builds on the saved output. ## 15. Sources you can check. Primary sources checked during course creation on 2026-10-08. Provider interfaces and availability can change. The examples, prompts and activities are original community teaching designs. Source links explain capabilities; they do not prove these fictional exercises were executed.

N opens notes. Read all slides creates a scrolling lesson. Every prompt has a real Copy prompt button with an honest manual fallback if the browser blocks clipboard access. Keep the whole curriculum folder together: PPTX prompt links open the companion index.html at the same prompt anchor. PowerPoint does not copy directly. For sharing online, rebuild with --companion-base-url set to the published curriculum URL. Motion illustrates input, agent, tool, human review and output. Pause flow stops it; system reduced-motion is respected. PDF contains a static diagram. PPTX uses an animated GIF where available; playback varies by viewer. Original teaching content, synthesized from learning objectives. Public source decks remain separate in library/. No one-to-one rebranding or permission to republish is implied.
