This sounds interesting. I think you're jumping into the tech too quickly though.

I think the first thing you should do is introduce agentic AI? What is it and what can it do that previous computational paradigms couldn't? Jumping into an introduction to IntelliJ feels extremely dry.

I also suspect the cognitive science and theory of mind stuff will be a distraction if this is a practical workshop focused on building agents. It's interesting for sure, but those discussions tend to be result in people sharing their BS opinions.

This sounds like a fascinating workshop! I love the structured approach of blending AI development, cognitive science, and Kotlin. The inclusion of OPENRNDR for creative coding makes it even more engaging.

I'm running a website called What is Differ, where we explore and explain differences between various concepts, including AI-related topics. Your breakdown of agentic AI development could make for an interesting comparison article on different approaches to building AI agents.

If you're open to collaboration or sharing insights, I'd love to connect!

Your course sounds like it covers AI assisted coding. What does it have to do with agentic AI?

A bit off topic, but what would you consider as the best applications of agentic ai?

Personally I use it for implementing complete new features using test driven development, or fix bugs in existing code base.

Outside of software development I use it for managing all the legal documents of our cooperative (and it's Germany, and I don't speak German well ;) )
