About this event

The 21st century has brought with it a new frontier in technology. Huge growth has been seen in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) space in the last few years and new, never-before-seen tools have emerged, bringing previously-unimagined possibilities for the world. The best part? You don't even have to be a developer! Come join us for this technical workshop and learn about this new tech!

Our speaker, Bright Etornam Sunu, will be taking us through the following:

Topic 1: Story time - Creative writing with Gemini and Flutter web.

We will look to build a story-writing app where Gemini generates plot points, character descriptions, or even dialogue based on user prompts in local languages with Flutter web and deploy our application to Firebase hosting. At the end of the session, participants will be introduced to Flutter for the web, Gemini and also Firebase hosting.

Topic 2: Hyperlocal News and Information

We will build an app that aggregates local Pretoria news and uses Gemini to summarize articles or provide short, AI-generated updates on local happenings.

M
ake sure you bring your laptop with you for this adventure into the world of AI!
