From Prompt to Product: Build Your First AI Feature in 60 Minutes

The gap between using AI tools and building with AI is where real value lies. This is not an AI talk — no endless theory, no "AI will change the world" presentation, no passive learning. Just hands-on building, executable code, and real-world AI use cases. The challenge: can you go from a blank screen to a working AI feature in 60 minutes? Using LLM APIs and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), you'll learn how to make AI understand and act on your own business data.

Masterclass 2

From Traceability to Intelligence — Practical AI Adoption for Manufacturing SMEs

Most manufacturing SMEs already capture traceability data — job cards, batch records, QC logs, machine readings — but it stays locked in registers and spreadsheets where nobody can act on it. This session shows how small and mid sized manufacturers move from simply recording data to making decisions with it, using practical and affordable AI. Learn what to digitise first, where AI genuinely pays back on the shop floor, and how to run a pilot without disrupting production.

Masterclass 4

Liabilities of Startup Directors

Incorporating a private limited company puts personal legal obligations on every director, and most first time founders discover them only when something has already gone wrong. This session breaks down what directors are actually answerable for under the Companies Act, which filings and disclosures genuinely matter, and how to structure boards, resolutions and records so founders stay protected as the company grows.

AI Fluency for the Next Generation — From Prompting to Practice

Knowing how to prompt is not the same as being fluent with AI. This hands-on session takes students and early career professionals past copy-paste prompting into real practice — framing problems so AI can help, checking what comes back, and turning one-off tricks into repeatable workflows for study, research and work. Expect live exercises rather than a tool tour, so participants leave with habits they can keep using.
