Hey AI, Mark My Words! 🤖 - Free Interactive Writing & AI Workshop

🤖 AI, MARK MY WORDS!

Write it. Test the AI. Trust your judgement.

Can AI really improve your writing? Or does it sometimes get things wrong?

Join Viet Hub NZ for a FREE, fun and interactive writing workshop where YOU get to challenge AI, spot its mistakes and discover how to become a more confident writer.

Whether you're writing an email to your teacher, applying for a job, preparing an essay or studying for IELTS, this workshop is for you!

🌟 Meet your workshop leader – Kai.

We're excited to have Kai (Anh Khoa Dang), one of Viet Hub NZ's passionate young volunteers, leading this workshop.

At Viet Hub NZ, we believe young people have incredible ideas and deserve opportunities to bring them to life.

Kai has already been supporting learners through our IELTS Writing sessions. Now he's taking the next step – designing and leading his own workshop to help others develop practical writing skills.

Young minds. Bold ideas. The courage to try something new!

Come along, learn something useful and support a young community leader!

✍️ What will you do?

This isn't a workshop where you just sit and listen. You'll be writing, experimenting, discussing and putting AI to the test!

• Hey → Dear! Turn a casual text message into a professional email. Can you write a better version than AI?

• Spot the 8 writing traps! Discover common mistakes in tone, vocabulary and structure.

• Choose your writing challenge! Write an email, job application paragraph or short essay.

• Let AI mark your words! Ask AI to review your writing and see what it notices.

• Human vs AI! Compare AI's feedback with another participant's. Who catches more mistakes?

You'll also receive practical take-home resources to continue improving your writing.

• School and university students

💛 Why we're doing this

At Viet Hub NZ, we want to create more opportunities for young people to lead, share their knowledge and contribute to their communities.

This workshop is about more than writing. It's about encouraging independent thinking, building confidence and showing that technology works best when we remain curious and critical.

AI can suggest the words. But you decide what they mean.
