On 31 March 2026, AICET conducted a prompt engineering workshop at NUS High School, where approximately 30 educators gathered to equip themselves with cutting-edge AI literacy skills. This session reflected a commitment to deepening the understanding of chatbot design and effectively harnessing AI technology.
The session, facilitated by Ms Karina Yuen, EdTech Development Specialist, introduced a pedagogy-driven approach to designing AI-powered learning experiences. Throughout the hands-on workshop, participants explored how the true value of AI in education lies not in technological novelty, but in the pedagogical purpose it serves. Using AICET’s ScholAIstic platform, educators systematically moved from basic prompts to complex strategies, such as introducing guardrails and structured conversation stages.
By experimenting with scaffolded scenarios, the educators experienced how ScholAIstic provides a safe environment for students to build competence and confidence through repeated practice at scale. Ms Karina Yuen emphasized that effective educational simulations require intentional design, noting that instructors must create appropriate challenges rather than simply responding helpfully.
The participants left with a practical design methodology for creating pedagogically sound simulation chatbots and resources for continued experimentation. They gained essential skills in advanced prompt engineering, testing simulations against various student personas, and implementing automated evaluation for scalable feedback. AICET is excited to see these educators lead the way in integrating such purposeful AI-driven innovation across their schools.
