Think. Prompt. Build. with WIDE

AI is already part of the job. The question is whether you use it well.

Three in four knowledge workers worldwide now use AI at work, and in Luxembourg a third of companies already do. Yet only 39% of employees have received any training, and women are about 20% less likely than men to use generative AI. The result is a skills gap that is growing quietly, and AI only delivers when it is used with method and critical judgement.

A day to think, build and present

What if AI could turn an idea into a prototype in just a few hours? It can, provided you know how to use it and, above all, how to think before you use it.

The AI Building Lab is a hackathon-style day, where participants learn and apply the design thinking method, then use AI tools to prototype a project.

The principle

All participants work on the same theme, revealed at the start of the day. Each brings her own experience and perspective to her team, which produces different points of view and several solutions to the same problem. It is the best demonstration of the richness of personal experience.
Limited number of participants, priority given to women (all ages)

The day follows two deliberately contrasting phases:

• In the morning, we think without screens. Brainstorming, team formation, then classic design thinking using only paper and sticky notes. All that counts is collective intelligence and creativity.
• Networking Lunch ( free thanks to our partners)
• In the afternoon, we build with AI. Teams turn their thinking into a prototype (a website, an app or something else), with guidance on the art of prompting and on choosing the right tool for their MVP.

AI is a brilliant accelerator, but it replaces neither thinking nor critical judgement. A good prompt starts with a good idea.

This event is organised in the framework of the AI Skills 4 Women programme and in partnerships with the SMC (Department of Media, Connectivity and Digital Policy).
