The Magic of a Good Prompt: Help Youth Unlock AI
The Magic of a Good Prompt: Help Youth Unlock AI
Kontenido
This activity introduces youth workers to prompt engineering as a key digital literacy. Using free tools like littlemissdata.com, aiforeducation.io, youth workers explore how crafting better AI prompts helps young people think more clearly, express ideas creatively, and use emerging technologies responsibly.
Prompting is not just about using AI tools — it's about teaching youth how to ask better questions, frame their needs, and shape the outputs they want from technology.
By completing this activity, you will
- Understand what makes a prompt effective or ineffective.
- Learn how to use AI tools to support creativity, communication, and youth voice.
- Help young people develop confidence and critical awareness when engaging with AI.
Get inspired
Visit the following websites:
Explore their prompt library.
Try one or two prompts under categories like “Creativity”, “Communication”, or “Identity”.
Watch the short introduction video: “The Step-by-Step master class on writing better prompts than 99% of people” by Enovair.
Take action: activities for different roles
Youth workers:
- Try 2–3 different prompts on aiforeducation.io. Note how slight changes affect the response.
- Craft your own creative or reflective prompt and test it with an AI tool (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot).
- Facilitate a session where youth experiment with prompts and compare outcomes.
Youth organisations:
- Develop a digital literacy session focused on AI tools and prompt awareness.
- Encourage teams to co-create a youth-centered prompt library (e.g. prompts for storytelling, event planning, community reflection).
- Integrate prompt-based activities into your media, career, or civic programs.
Young people:
- Use an AI tool with a creative or expressive prompt (e.g., poem about your neighborhood, advice to your future self).
- Reflect: What surprised you? What felt useful? What felt off or biased?
- Challenge yourself: Can you improve the prompt to get a better result?
Suggested follow-up activities
- Organize a “Prompt Lab” where youth test creative, funny, or meaningful prompts.
- Create a zine or blog post featuring “Best of AI responses” and the prompts that triggered them.
- Combine prompt work with digital ethics discussions: Who trains the AI? Whose voice does it reflect?
