AI FORGE 2026 – BUILD WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

 

Organised by IEEE Student Branch, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj University (CSMU), Navi Mumbai

 

AI Forge 2026 is a three-day hands-on technical workshop designed to introduce engineering students to the rapidly evolving world of Artificial Intelligence and its real-world applications.

 

The workshop aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation by providing participants with an opportunity to explore Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), Prompt Engineering and AI-powered application development.

 

Through expert-led sessions, live demonstrations, guided practical exercises and collaborative project development, participants will learn how to leverage modern AI tools to solve real-world problems.

 

Key Topics Covered:

 

- Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

- Generative AI and Large Language Models

- Prompt Engineering and AI Tools

- Introduction to Python for AI Applications

- AI APIs and Application Integration

- Building AI-Powered Applications

- Responsible AI and Real-World Applications

 

Hands-on Activities:

 

Participants will work in interdisciplinary teams to conceptualise, develop and demonstrate AI-powered prototypes based on practical problem statements across different engineering domains.

 

The workshop will conclude with a project showcase, where teams will present their solutions before an evaluation panel. Outstanding projects will receive special recognition.

 

Expected Learning Outcomes:

 

- Understand the fundamentals of modern AI technologies.

- Gain practical exposure to AI development tools.

- Develop problem-solving and technical implementation skills.

- Build and demonstrate an AI-powered prototype.

- Collaborate with students from different engineering disciplines.
