Build your own AI-Powered Web App: Workshop with Microsoft - UTS Tech Festival 2024

Build your own AI-Powered Web App - Workshop with Microsoft

The 2024 Work Trend Index Annual Report from Microsoft and LinkedIn revealed that junior candidates may have a competitive edge when applying for jobs compared to more experienced candidates.

• 71% of leaders say they’d rather hire a less experienced candidate with AI skills than a more experienced candidate without them. 
• 77% of leaders say, with AI, early-in-career talent will be given greater responsibilities.
• 66% of leaders say they wouldn’t hire someone without AI skills.

In this workshop we will give you everything you need to combine the power of GPT technology with your very own web app. With no AI experience or web dev experience required, we'll give you the starter code, the understanding, and the tools that will have you talking to your own generative AI by the end of the session.

Date: Tuesday, 25 June 2024 
Time: 10:30am - 1:00pm
Location: Building 11, Level 00, Room 405

To get the most out of this workshop, be sure to
