Sharing Industry Insight at FIT: Creative AI Workshop and Hackathon Jury Collaboration

By Julio B. Soler

It was an honor to participate in the Fashion Institute of Technology's “Age of Creative Intelligence” Hackathon as both a jury member and guest lecturer. I had the chance to lead a two-part workshop, "The New AI Creative Arsenal: From Prompt to Production," where we explored the latest breakthroughs in GenAI video, imaging, and synthetic production tools. The ingenuity and creative use of AI from the students was truly impressive, particularly how they pushed these emerging tools into storytelling, branding, interactivity, and thoughtful social impact concepts.

Sharing knowledge with young minds who are ready to adopt and elevate these technologies is always energizing. Thank you, Professors Christie Shin and C.J. Yeh, for the invitation, the wonderful collaboration, and the lovely "Age of CI: AI Hackathon 2025 Certificate of Appreciation" from Design Portfolio Center. I look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and keep building the creative future together.
