Description: This faculty-focused engagement offers a foundational overview of agentic AI, an emerging evolution of generative AI that autonomously plans and completes complex, multi-step processes. Participants will learn about agentic AI’s key opportunities and risks, experience its capabilities through demonstrations of AI agents completing real-world academic tasks, and participate in thoughtful discussion about this technology’s impact as it becomes more prevalent in higher education and society at large.

We’ll cover the basics of planning, recording, editing, and publishing, plus tips on choosing equipment and sharing your show with listeners. Perfect for anyone curious about podcasting or ready to launch their first episode.

Learn the basics of 3D printing and 3D modeling, from design in TinkerCAD to operating the Ultimaker 3 and Ultimaker S5 printers.

The Digital Media Studio and MakerSpace is hosting an open house event, open to all SFSU students, faculty and staff. 

Learn about 3D printing, virtual reality (VR), podcasting, audio mixing, Internet-of-Things/micro-controllers/robotics, video/audio equipment checkout. 

The open house will also feature special presentations of student projects with edge computing, artificial intelligence, and more.

Description: This course explores image creation with generative AI. Participants will gain a primer on generative AI tools for image creation, considerations for using generative AI, and best practices for creating effective and accessible images for various use cases. Through hands-on activities, participants will develop skills in crafting descriptive prompts and selecting
appropriate visual styles to generate unique images with ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Adobe Firefly.

This course is an elective that counts toward receiving a digital badge for the AI Literacy Education Program.

*Disclaimers: 

• This course utilizes Adobe tools which are available to faculty, staff, and select student populations. Students will need to ensure they have access to Adobe apps before attending this workshop.
• Adobe Firefly and Express are accessed via the web. Participants do NOT need to download Adobe Creative Cloud.

Objectives: In this course, you will learn to:  

• Understand the basics of generative AI technology for image creation
• Write descriptive prompts and use visual style options to generate images
• Employ best practices for creating effective and accessible images

Duration: 60 minutes

Experience Level: Little or no familiarity with generative AI tools for image creation

What is “vibe coding,” and why is everyone talking about it? 

This 60-minute interactive workshop introduces participants to vibe coding — a new way of building software by describing what you want to an AI and refining the results together. Instead of writing every line of code yourself, you work at the intent level and use AI to generate, test, and improve your ideas in real time. 

This session is designed for beginners, non-CS majors, creatives, staff, faculty, and early developers. No prior coding experience is required. 

We’ll explore: 

• What vibe coding actually means (and what it doesn’t)
• Where it works well — and where it doesn’t
• Real-world use cases and current AI coding breakthroughs
• The risks, limitations, and responsible ways to use it 

Participants will observe a live demo and have the option to try a guided mini activity with facilitator support. This is an exploratory, hands-on experience — not a deep programming course.
