Project 1

AI Workflows for Research and Presentations

A three-session teaching project on turning a strong source page or report into structured notes, analysis, and a clear 3–5 slide deck.

Audience: ages 16–18 Format: 3 × 1 hour Output: 5-slide mini deck

Course overview

Learn how to turn information into a clear presentation.

This project introduces a practical AI workflow for students. The class starts with a source, turns it into structured notes, builds a simple analysis, and ends with a short slide deck.

By the end of the project, students should be able to organize information clearly, identify useful evidence, and present a topic in a more visual and structured way.

Sessions

Three sessions

Session 1

Extract Information from a Website

Structured input

Students begin with a real source page and learn how to turn it into usable notes. The emphasis is on source quality, extraction, and asking AI for structure instead of a vague summary.

Judge whether a source is credible enough to use
Extract the core message, key points, and usable facts
Compare a weak prompt with a stronger structured prompt
Produce a clean note set that can feed the next step

Session 2

Use AI Workflows for Analysis

Repeatable process

Students move from one prompt to workflow thinking. The extracted notes become input for a simple analysis process that groups evidence, identifies drivers, and prepares a presentation angle.

Understand the difference between a prompt and a workflow
Break analysis into repeatable steps
Flag claims that still need human verification
Generate a presentation-ready analysis summary

Session 3

Turn Analysis into a 3–5 Slide Deck

Presentation output

Students use the analysis from the previous step to build a small deck with clear slide logic. AI can help produce the first version, but students still need to refine wording, structure, and emphasis.

Create a 3–5 slide outline with one purpose per slide
Improve generic AI output into clearer communication
Add simple visual suggestions for each slide
Explain where human judgment matters most in the final result

Sample output

Example 5-slide deck

Slide 1

Digital Money and Hong Kong's Fund Industry

A title slide that frames the topic as a financial-infrastructure question rather than only a payment question.

Slide 2

Why Digital Money Matters

A visual explanation of how finance moves from physical money to electronic money and then toward on-chain systems.

Slide 3

Why Hong Kong's Fund Industry Could Benefit

A simple growth-logic map connecting settlement efficiency, programmable transactions, and institutional support.

Slide 4

Evidence from the Report

A slide that combines market size, survey findings, and a Hong Kong pilot example into one evidence page.

Slide 5

Risks, Limits, and Final Takeaway

A closing slide that balances opportunity with the need for verification, adoption, and human judgment.
