1. Creative Writing: The Prince of Har
Escort a young prince in his sacred pilgrimage across the Deserts of Har with powerful tools and allies!
Armed with a magical tablet, you will be overcoming obstacles by generating AI images which manifest into usable tools in the story. Whether it is crossing broken bridges, surviving raging sandstorms or defeating ancient monsters, how you triumph in these scenarios is only limited by your imagination!
This program is designed to develop AI image generation skills on Midjourney with a focus on descriptive and creative writing skills, elements of art and strategic thinking. Students will be tasked with describing the items they generate, writing about how they overcome peculiar scenarios, as well as generating AI images from their story.
2. Ethics of AI: Rise of the Robots
Our interstellar travellers visit Solaris, the world where A.I. and robots appear to co-exist harmoniously with humans. A young boy James has called us to track the whereabouts of his trusty robot butler, Alfred. As the Doyobi Explorers investigate the duplicitous Company that has captured suspected sentient A.I., they think about
– the characteristics that differentiate robots and A.I.
– how A.I. and robots can positively or negatively impact society
– how data is used to train A.I. and experiment with creating their own A.I.
– the limitations of A.I. and debate why humans will continue to be essential.
What happens when we become overly reliant on technology?
Is it possible to have a world where A.I. goes solo, without human instruction?
We find out, as we traverse different communities, observe and discuss our findings on the ethics, benefits and dangers of embracing the use of A.I. and robots in our society.
No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we're all about trying things out yourself, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime and how we learn in real life. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make a meaningful impact.
