“Good [morning/afternoon], everyone! Welcome to AI Workshop 2025 – Unlocking the Future! I’m [Your Name], and I’m thrilled to be your host today as we dive into the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence — exploring some of the coolest AI tools out there and unlocking the secrets of prompt engineering.
Whether you’re a coding wizard, an AI newbie, or just curious about how robots aren’t quite taking over your homework yet, you’re in the right place.
A big shout-out to our amazing Faculty of Information Technology for organizing this event, and, of course, to our sponsor TechSpark — powering today’s session with innovation and support. Thank you for making this possible!
We have a packed 60 minutes ahead with key moments including a fun icebreaker game — because hey, who says AI can’t be fun? — followed by an insightful talk from none other than Dr. Anna Nguyen, an accomplished AI researcher who’s shaping the future as we speak. After that, you’ll get to ask your burning questions in our Q&A session.
So, before we jump in, how many of you have ever tried chatting with an AI chatbot — like me? (pause for show of hands or cheers) Wow, quite a few! And how many of you have tried to “coach” one with your own prompts? (pause*) Great! Today’s going to be next level.
Alright, let’s kick things off!”
[Transition to Icebreaker | 5-15 minutes]
MC:
“Now, to warm up those brains, it’s time for a quick icebreaker. Trust me, it’s fun and no AI will judge you!
Here’s the game: I’ll give you a simple prompt — your job is to come up with the funniest or most creative AI prompt you can think of related to university life. For example, ‘Write a poem about procrastination using only movie quotes.’
You can shout out your prompts or share with your neighbor — we might pick a few to read out loud! Ready?
Your first prompt: ‘Ask an AI to explain why coffee should be considered a food group.’ Go!
(Give audience a minute or two, encourage applause or laughter for shared prompts)
Fantastic creativity, everyone! Remember, crafting the right prompt is just like talking to a friend — the clearer and more fun your prompt, the better the AI’s answer. And that’s exactly the kind of skill Dr. Anna is going to help us master next.”
[Transition to Main Talk | 15-55 minutes]
MC:
“Alright, it’s time for the star of today’s workshop — Dr. Anna Nguyen!
Dr. Nguyen is not only a leading AI researcher but also a fantastic teacher who’s passionate about making AI accessible and exciting for all of us. She’ll walk us through some cutting-edge AI tools and share expert tips on prompt engineering — the magic behind getting AI to really understand and help you.
Please join me in giving a warm welcome to Dr. Anna Nguyen!”
(Lead applause as Dr. Anna takes the stage)
[Pause as Dr. Anna gives her talk, approx. 35-40 minutes]
[Transition to Q&A | 55-60 minutes]
MC:
“Wow, what an amazing session! Thank you so much, Dr. Nguyen, for opening up the future with us today.
Now it’s your turn — I’m sure many of you are buzzing with questions. So, if you have any, don’t be shy! Raise your hand, and we’ll bring you the microphone.
Or, if you’re enjoying today’s workshop and would like to share your biggest AI ‘aha’ moment so far, we’d love to hear that too!”
(Facilitate 5-7 minutes of Q&A, engaging with audience and Dr. Nguyen)
[Closing | Last 5 minutes]
MC:
“As we wrap up AI Workshop 2025 – Unlocking the Future, I want to thank each of you for being such an enthusiastic and curious audience. Your energy made this session truly special.
Big thanks once again to Dr. Anna Nguyen for her incredible insights, to the Faculty of Information Technology for organizing, and to TechSpark for sponsoring — you guys rock!
Remember, AI is not just the future — it’s what you create with it starting now. So keep experimenting, stay curious, and don’t be afraid to talk to your AI tools like you would a new friend (or a quirky professor).
Before you leave, feel free to network, swap AI prompt ideas, and maybe even brainstorm your next big AI project together. Also, keep an eye out for upcoming workshops from the Faculty — this is just the start!
Thank you all, have a fantastic day, and keep unlocking the future!”
(Final applause)
