Scope
  • AI Fundamentals
  • AI Usage & Implementation
  • AI Ethics, Privacy & Security
How PyCon Singapore Runs It

As a community developer conference, PyCon Singapore focuses on AI Usage & Implementation. Participants learn by doing: understanding and applying modern prompting techniques while building a personal AI agent that is useful for their own workflows.

AI Fundamentals and AI Ethics, Privacy, and Security are infused throughout the hands-on work, rather than treated as standalone modules. This keeps the content grounded in practical choices participants must make while building.

AI technologies are fast evolving. This refreshed content ensures that participants are keeping abreast with the recent advancements in AI, and more importantly develop and demonstrate a lifelong learning mindset to allow them to not merely survive, but thrive in the AI era.

Learning By Doing

Integrated, hands-on, with clear outcomes

The training is designed to help participants move beyond awareness (AI literacy) into competent use (AI fluency). Expect to practice, reflect, and iterate.

What You'll Practice
  • Modern prompting techniques for higher quality and more reliable outputs
  • Breaking a goal into steps an agent can execute
  • Evaluating results and tightening instructions based on evidence
What You'll Take Home
  • A small personal AI agent workflow tailored to your use case
  • A set of prompts and patterns you can reuse beyond the conference
  • A practical checklist for ethics, privacy, and security considerations

We are excited and can't wait to see what participants will build next!
