Your Win
Build something you can actually use
Participants will successfully write, test, and refine at least 5 business-focused prompts across different productivity categories, demonstrating a clear understanding of prompt structure, context-setting, and output formatting.
When you are done, your submission should show the finished artifact, how it works, and what you learned while testing it.
Guided Lab
Work through the mission in four passes
Phase 1
Brief
Participants will successfully write, test, and refine at least 5 business-focused prompts across different productivity categories, demonstrating a clear understanding of prompt structure, context-setting, and output formatting.
- Focus area: Prompting
- Difficulty: Rookie
Phase 2
Learn
Use the 5 attached resources before building.
- No setup blockers listed.
- Use your own prompt strategy if no starter prompt is listed.
Phase 3
Build
Step 1 - LEARN THE FORMULA (5 min): Open the 'Prompting Techniques Handbook' in the Lab Materials section below. Study the basic prompt structure: [Role] + [Task] + [Context] + [Format]. Example: 'You are a professional email writer. Write a follow-up email to a client who missed our meeting. Keep it polite and under 100 words. Use a formal tone.'
- Step 2 - PICK YOUR 5 CATEGORIES (5 min): Choose 5 from this list to build prompts for: (A) Email Writing, (B) Meeting Agenda Creation, (C) Task Prioritization, (D) Report Summarization, (E) Customer Response, (F) Social Media Post, (G) Job Description Writing.
- Step 3 - DRAFT YOUR PROMPTS (15 min): For each of your 5 chosen categories, write one prompt using the formula from Step 1. Write them in a document before testing. Make sure each prompt includes a role, a clear task, relevant context, and a desired output format.
- Step 4 - TEST & CAPTURE (15 min): Paste each prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool of your choice. Run all 5 prompts and copy both the prompt AND the AI's response into your submission document.
Phase 4
Submit
Submit a single document (PDF, Google Doc link, or Word file) containing: (1) Your 5 original prompts clearly labeled by category, (2) The AI-generated output for each prompt copied directly below its corresponding prompt, (3) A 'Prompt Debrief' section with a brief reflection on at least 2 of your prompts noting what worked and what you would improve. Submissions missing any of these three components will be returned for revision.
