RURAL OUTPOST, Developing Nation — In a bold display of American innovation, Silicon Valley volunteer Brayden Miller was seen today wearing a crisp tactical khaki vest and completely ignoring the village’s broken water pump. Instead, he set up a portable whiteboard to explain the nuances of ‘Prompt Engineering’ to a confused goat while thirsty locals looked on.

“Water solves thirst for a day, but optimal token context solves problems for a lifetime,” said Director of Synergistic Aid Marcus Thorne. The new Tech Corps initiative recruits STEM graduates to ensure developing nations do not fall behind on chatbot trends. “We are deploying our best talent to places that desperately need server farms, even if they currently lack electricity or walls.”

The program has already hit milestones in digital literacy. “The village elder kept pointing at the dry well and shouting,” explained Senior Volunteer Kyle Vance, adjusting his smart glasses. “I told him that was a ‘bad prompt’ and he needed to be more specific about his desired output. Then I showed him how to generate a picture of a sandwich on my tablet. He didn’t seem to get it, probably because of the glare.”

At press time, the goat was promoted to Junior Developer after successfully eating the whiteboard marker.
