Teaching Generative AI: Deploying ComfyUI to the Classroom with Docker and Cloud-based GPUs
DescriptionThis one-hour workshop presents a reproducible approach to teaching generative AI through cloud-first deployment and visual programming. Drawing from the School of Visual Arts’ “Innovating with Generative AI” course, we demonstrate how ComfyUI, a node-based interface for diffusion models, can be deployed at classroom scale using Docker containers and platforms such as Runpod. Participants will learn to teach text-to-image, image-to-3D, and multi-modal workflows without requiring local GPU hardware. Validated over three semesters, this framework lowers technical barriers and enables educators to integrate professional-grade AI tools into diverse curricula.
