Next Steps After Prompt Power-Ups

Practice at Home

  • Try different topics: Change your quiz from animals to space, history, or music
  • Experiment with prompts: Ask for the same thing three different ways and compare the results
  • Use your checklist: Apply your Prompt Evaluation Checklist to every AI interaction this week
  • Explore Playwright: Ask AI to look at your quiz and suggest one more improvement

Get Ready for One Thing at a Time (Next Workshop)

  • Look at your quiz app code — can you tell which parts are “questions,” which parts are “display,” and which parts are “scoring”?
  • Think about what happens if you want to change the colors without touching the questions
  • Try adding a new question to your quiz — was it easy or hard to find where to put it?

Explore More (If Curious)

  • Try writing system prompts for different projects (a story generator, a calculator)
  • Ask Copilot to explain its own code back to you
  • Experiment with longer, more detailed prompts vs. shorter ones — which works better?

Keep It Safe and Fun

  • AI output is a starting point, not a finished product
  • Always check AI-generated code before running it
  • Small improvements add up — keep iterating
