Hi! Saw this issue and thought I could help out. 🎓

I've created a complete 2-hour workshop kit for teaching AI agent governance concepts using this toolkit. This is my second contribution to the project (after Issue #726).

🎯 Workshop Highlights

Duration: 2 hours

⚠️ Stuff I'm Not 100% Sure About

P1: API Assumptions (Need Validation)

I've assumed certain APIs exist in the toolkit:

• PolicyEngine, TrustEngine, DIDManager, GovernanceStack
• Methods like load_policy(), evaluate(), create()

Next Step: Verify these against actual toolkit documentation in a follow-up PR.

P2: Slide Deck

I've provided a comprehensive outline (10.6 KB) but not actual PowerPoint/Google Slides files.

Next Step: Create actual slide deck with visuals, diagrams, screenshots (2-3 hours).

P3: Setup Instructions

Setup instructions are spread across multiple files.

Next Step: Consolidate into single PARTICIPANT_SETUP.md (15 min).
