Generative AI: From Concepts to Real-World Applications
A practical, code-first workshop for engineering students. In three days your students go from their first LLM API call to shipping a real AI app โ chatbots, RAG pipelines over their own documents, and tool-using agents. Everything runs on free-tier tools like Groq and Google Colab.

Most AI sessions stop at slides. This one is code-first from the very first hour โ every concept lands with a notebook students run themselves. They leave having actually built chatbots, a document Q&A system and an AI agent.
- โWho it's for: engineering students with basic Python โ no prior AI experience needed.
- โFormat: on-campus or blended, ~5 hours a day, with breaks and live build time.
- โSetup: just a browser. Google Colab plus a free Groq API key โ nothing to install.
