Write your first really good prompt
Take a real task you have this week and turn a one-line request into a prompt that gets a useful answer the first time. An AI tutor checks each step.
Goal: Leave with one tested, reusable prompt for a task you actually do.
Most disappointing AI answers come from short, vague prompts. In this lab you'll improve one prompt in small steps: add context, say exactly what you want back, add an example, then test it. Use a real task, not a made-up one. It works better and you'll keep the result.
You'll need any AI chatbot (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or similar) open in another tab for step 6.
Pick a real task
Write one sentence about a task you'd genuinely like AI help with this week. Make it something specific: who it's for and what you need.
Examples: "Write a polite email to my landlord asking to fix the heating", "Plan a 3-day revision timetable for my biology exam".
Success looks like: A real, specific task in one sentence.
