Purdue AI Lunch & Learn · Session 01

Build Your First Personal Website with AI

Participants began with curated academic examples, chose a structure that fit their work, and practiced directing, evaluating, and refining AI-generated pages.

The website was the project. The lasting skill was learning how to make decisions with AI without handing those decisions over to it.
