BSDI Completed a Successful Workshop on “Mastering in AI Prompting”

Do you wonder how smart work will evolve in the future? Some aspiring people try to find the answer to this question. That’s why they gathered for an exciting workshop, “Mastering in AI Prompting,” on January 27, 2024.

Participants in this workshop came from diverse backgrounds and ages. However, they shared a strong interest in exploring the future technology of artificial intelligence.

The workshop is all about AI prompting. Before the workshop, most of them didn’t know about the word “prompting.”. Most of them command an artificial intelligence tool like ChatGPT, and they don’t get any expected results. However, after an interactive session, they understand how to use artificial intelligence for their regular work and get their expected results from AI.

The workshop is structured into 4 main parts. Each part is more interactive than the others. 

First, the trainer introduces the basics of prompting to the participants. In the second session, all participants took a competitive exam, and they learned how to get help from artificial intelligence in their regular work.

In the third session, all participants learned about the wording, tone, style, priming, and conditioning of prompting. Then they evaluated themselves, by taking part in 2 exciting games named “Kahoot of AI Prompting.”. In the 4th session, the participants try to build their documents with the support of the artificial intelligence tool “ChatGPT” and Adobe Firefly. 

After all these sessions, all the participants get a clear view of artificial intelligence prompting with ChatGPT and Adobe Firefly. 

After the workshop, they learned several lessons. Some of them are:

  1. Integrated with artificial intelligence tools.
  2. Communicate with artificial intelligence tools.
  3. Use of ChatGPT and Adobe Firefly
  4. Create all kinds of documents with the help of artificial intelligence.

After the workshop, the participants are assigned to some activities. After completing the activities, the participants received a wonderful certificate.

Revolution of Digital Electronics in the world

Digital electronics is the branch of electronics that deals with digital signals or information, as opposed to analog signals. Digital electronics has revolutionized the world, making everything from computers to smartphones possible. It’s an essential part of our lives, and its impact will only continue to grow.

Digital electronics use binary digits (bits) to represent data or information. These bits can have only two possible values, 0 or 1, which can be represented physically by voltage levels or electrical charges. By using a series of bits, digital electronics can represent and manipulate a wide range of data and information, including text, images, and sound.

Digital electronics are also much more reliable and precise than analog electronics. Because digital signals are less affected by noise and interference, they can be transmitted over long distances without losing quality. In contrast, analog signals are often distorted by noise and interference, making them more difficult to work with.

Another advantage of digital electronics is their ability to process data and information quickly and accurately. Digital circuits can perform complex calculations and operations at high speeds, making them ideal for applications that require fast and efficient processing, such as computer systems, digital signal processing, and control systems.

One of the advantages of digital electronics is their reliability and precision. Digital signals are less affected by noise and interference, and they can be transmitted over long distances without losing quality. Digital circuits are also more flexible and versatile than analog circuits, as they can be easily reconfigured or updated to support new applications or features.

Some common digital electronic components include microprocessors, memory chips, digital-to-analog converters, and analog-to-digital converters. These components are used in a wide range of applications, including computer systems, digital cameras, and mobile devices.

Digital electronics have also enabled the development of many new technologies, including the internet, social media, and e-commerce. These technologies have transformed the way we communicate, work, and do business, making them an essential part of our daily lives.

In conclusion, digital electronics have revolutionized the world and will continue to shape the future. They offer reliability, precision, programmability, and versatility, making them a critical part of many modern technologies. From the devices we use every day to the infrastructure that supports our economy, digital electronics are an essential part of our world.

ফ্রেন্ডশিপ সেন্ট্রার , গাইবান্ধা – পার্ট অফ মর্ডান আর্কিটেকচার অফ বাংলাদেশ

আধুনিক স্থাপত্য কলা বা Modern Architecture এর অংশ হিসেবে 32 হাজার বর্গফুট আয়তনের এক বিশাল এরিয়া তে নির্মিত হয়েছে ফ্রেন্ডশিপ সেন্টার। বাংলাদেশের গাইবান্ধা জেলার ফুলছড়ি উপজেলার কঞ্চিপাড়া ইউনিয়নের মদনের পাড়া গ্রামের এক অদ্ভুত সুন্দর ভবন ফ্রেন্ডশিপ সেন্টার। ভবনের ছাদ আর ভূপৃষ্ঠ সমান্তরালে তাই ভবনটির পাশ দিয়ে হঠাৎ হেটে গেলেও চোখে পড়বে না।

মাটির নিচে অত্যাধুনিক এই ভবন টি আর এর ছাদ ঘাস  দিয়ে ঢাকা। ভবনের ছাদের সবুজ ঘাস যেন মিশে গেছে চারপাশের প্রকৃতির সাথে। এমন অসাধারণ ভবনটির নকশাকার স্থপতি কাশেফ মাহবুব চৌধুরী। মাটির নিচে নির্মিত এ ভবন উপর থেকে দেখতে অনেকটা প্রাচীন বৌদ্ধ বিহারের মত।এর নির্মাণশৈলীর অনুপ্রেরণাও প্রাচীন বৌদ্ধ বিহার মহাস্থানগড় থেকে পাওয়া । দূর থেকে ভবনটি সহজে চোখে পড়ে না ।

ভবনের জন্য নির্ধারিত জমি খুবই নিচু হওয়ায় পানি আটকাতে চারদিকে বাঁধ দেয়া হয়েছে।স্বল্প বাজেটের কারণে মাটি ভরাট করে নির্মাণের চিন্তাটা বাদ পড়েছিল শুরুতেই।এই কারণে ভবন নির্মাণ হয়েছে সাশ্রয়ী। এই ভবনটি নির্মাণ করা হয়েছে স্থানীয় লাল রঙ এর ইট ও সিমেন্টের গাঁথুনি এবং এতে কোনো প্লাস্টার ব্যবহার হয়নি। ফ্রেন্ডশিপ সেন্টার নির্মাণে প্রায় দুই বছর সময় লেগেছে এবং ভবনটি নির্মাণের খরচ হয়েছে আনুমানিক আট কোটি টাকা। এই প্রজেক্ট এর ডিজাইনের কাজ ২০০৮ সালে শুরু হলেও নির্মাণ কাজ শেষ হয় ২০১১ সালে।

পুরো সেন্টারে  দুই টি ব্লক রয়েছে । “ক” ব্লকে মূলত অফিস, ট্রেনিং সেন্টার, লাইব্রেরী আর অন্যদিকে “খ” ব্লক আবাসন হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয়। রুমের অবস্থান ও কার্যক্রম অনুসারে পু্রো নির্মাণ এলাকা 24 ভাগে ভাগ করা হয়েছে যেমন লাইব্রেরী, এডমিন রুম, পার্কিং ,রিসেপশন ইত্যাদি। এদের একটির সঙ্গে আরেকটি সংযুক্ত বারান্দা ও খোলা প্যাভেলিয়ন দিয়ে।

যেহেতু এটি একটি প্রশিক্ষণ কেন্দ্র তাই প্রশিক্ষণার্থীদের সুবিধার্থে শান্ত পরিবেশ বজায় রাখার উদ্দেশ্যেই এই ভবনটি নির্মিত হয়। পর্যাপ্ত আলো আর  বাতাস প্রবেশের ব্যবস্থা রাখা হয়েছে এতে। ভবনের ছাদে সবুজ ঘাসে ঢাকা ও কক্ষগুলো মাটির নিচে থাকায় প্রাকৃতিক ভাবে অপেক্ষাকৃত ঠান্ডা থাকে। যেসব ঘর একেবারে অন্ধকার সেখানে প্রাকৃতিক আলোর উৎস স্কাইলাইট রয়েছে, ভেন্টিলেশন ব্যবস্থা ও প্রাকৃতিক। প্রতিটি ব্লকের উচ্চতা সমান।পুরো বিল্ডিং এর লাইট কোর্ট আর  উন্মুক্ত চাতাল আলোছায়ার দারুন সমাহার তৈরি করে।ভবন এলাকায় ৫টি ওয়াটার পুল আছে ।ছাদে যাতে পানি জমে না থাকে সে জন্য পুরো ছাদে  চমৎকার ড্রেনেজ ব্যবস্থা রয়েছে। এসব ড্রেনই  প্রকৃতির সঙ্গে মিশে দৃষ্টির আড়ালে রয়েছে।স্থানীয়ভাবে তৈরী ইটের গাথুনির দিয়ে নির্মিত ভবনটিতে প্রতিদিনই কৌতুহলী মানুষের ভীড় জমে।

সুইজারল্যান্ডভিত্তিক আগা খান ডেভেলপমেন্ট নেটওয়ার্কের পুরস্কারের জন্য বিশ্বের 384 স্থাপনাকে পেছনে ফেলে  চূড়ান্ত মনোনয়ন পাওয়ার 19 টি  স্থাপত্যের মধ্যে ফ্রেন্ডশিপ সেন্টার ও ছিল । বাংলাদেশের এই স্থাপনাটি 2014 থেকে 2016 সালের শ্রেষ্ঠ স্থাপনা হিসেবে সম্মানজনক আগা খান আওয়ার্ড ফর আর্কিটেকচার পুরস্কারের জন্য নির্বাচিত হয়।

সবুজ আর শান্তভাবে প্রকৃতির মাঝে বেঁচে মিশে থাকায় এই ভবনটি হয়েছে আধুনিক স্থাপত্য কলা বা Modern Architecture এর এক অসাধারণ নিদর্শন ।
