Words to Worlds — AI Prompt Engineering

Carry one written idea, tool by tool, until it becomes a world you can stand inside.

What it is

Words2Worlds is the FRS method for AI-era worldbuilding: a written idea carried, tool by tool, into a world you can stand inside. The scaffold is a living prompt library — a global seed vision, a brand adjective trinity, a hero experience, supporting touchpoints, an atmospheric environment, an innovation wild card, and a three-act experiential arc — filled in by the room and then carried down the pipeline so that every later prompt inherits everything decided before it. That is the actual skill: not writing one clever prompt, but building context that compounds.

The day runs as theatre, in acts — the Briefing, the Seed Vision, the Salad Bowl — with the room's own words flowing live through the chain while everyone watches. Text becomes concept art, concept art becomes motion, motion becomes 3D, and 3D becomes a standing environment. Seventeen faculty from A&D, B&T, LAS and Academic Affairs each authored a retail world this way over winter break, every contribution folding into one Master Synthesis in the workshop app, which is still live.

What you leave with

A world of your own — seed vision, concept art, motion, 3D and a standing environment — plus the prompt library that got you there.

Who it is for

This one is open to FIT faculty and students alike. Set aside a full day.

Dates

Seat counts are the size of the room, not a live count of who has signed up — if a session has filled, it says so below. Dates are set by the lab and can move.

  1. · 9.30am–4.30pm FRS Lab · 17 seats

    Lunch is part of the day — the Salad Bowl act runs through it.

It has run once before, most recently on Tuesday 15 September 2026.

Want it for your class?

This one runs again whenever there is a room and a reason. If the dates above do not work, or you want it built around a course you are teaching, say so — and if what you are after is not in the catalogue at all, say that instead. Both start the same way.
