AI Prompting Effectively with Todd Nacapuy

AI is already embedded in how work gets done. The difference between a useless answer and a genuinely useful one is usually the prompt. In this hands on workshop, Todd Nacapuy walks students through prompt engineering fundamentals and how to use AI thoughtfully in academic and professional settings. You'll learn how to: • Write prompts that get usable output on the first try • Give AI the context, role, and constraints it needs • Break big tasks into steps AI can actually handle • Check AI output for accuracy and know when not to trust it • Apply AI to real academic and professional work Todd Nacapuy brings technology leadership experience from Accuity, HEMIC, and the State of Hawaiʻi. Bring a laptop to follow along. Free AI tools only. No prior AI experience required. Hosted by the Information Technology Management Association (ITMA) and the PACE AI Innovation Lab. Open to all UH students, staff, and faculty.
