Prompt Engineering Hackathon for Humanities

Are you ready to shape and amplify the impact of AI in the humanities? Want to win Apple laptops and iPads for you and your team? Are you eager for exclusive mentorship from subject matter professionals exploring the frontiers of AI? Do you love a free lunch? If you answered yes, we invite you to join us Oct. 13-14 at the Prompt Engineering Hackathon for Humanities, hosted by ASU Enterprise Technology, where you'll leverage prompt engineering as a dynamic writing technique to unravel the mechanics of generative AI tools. Through hands-on engagement, you'll explore the capabilities and limitations of these systems, resulting in a deeper understanding of how to wield AI as a tool and establish ethical guidelines for collaborative AI use in the humanities. No experience with AI required! 

• Explore AI's Creative Power: Craft compelling narratives, unravel the inner workings of GPT systems, and challenge the boundaries of these systems to unlock unparalleled creative potential.
• Test AI Boundaries: Develop a rock-solid AI literacy foundation that empowers you to harness AI as your ultimate creative ally.
• Explore Human-Machine Synergy: Blend your imagination with data-powered AI to explore the fusion of human ingenuity and technological innovation.
• Champion Ethical AI: Be the advocate for AI-powered solutions that uplift, empower, and inspire, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between humanity and technology.

This is a low code/no code hackathon; no previous experience with AI required. This hackathon is open to ASU Humanities majors, minors, or anyone interested in Humanities perspectives and methods. 

At the Prompt Engineering Hackathon for Humanities, we want you to embody your persona as a Humanities major - writer, linguist, philosopher, etc. - and explore ways in which AI is both advantageous and disadvantageous as a collaborator. You’ll work together with teammates to create a persona playbook expressing discoveries, as well as the boundaries and affordances of AI, and how these discoveries create space for innovative collaboration between human and machine.
