Course description

What students make and do

Students try several generative AI tools and learn how the instructions they provide affect the result. They create images, stories, character voices, and simple chatbot experiences using tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, and NovelAI. Projects focus on clear prompts, creative iteration, and comparing different outputs.

  • Generate and revise original images
  • Create an AI-assisted story and characters
  • Experiment with character voices
  • Design a simple character chatbot
  • Combine images, writing, voice, or animation in a final showcase

Sample program path

How the course can develop

This example shows one possible progression. The order and depth change with the group and contract.

  1. 01Learn what different AI systems do and how they differ
  2. 02Experiment with prompts for images and narrative
  3. 03Develop a longer story with AI-assisted tools
  4. 04Explore voice and character-based media
  5. 05Build a simple chatbot and refine prompts collaboratively
  6. 06Create and present a mixed-media final project

How we adapt it

Adapted for age, experience, and schedule.

Younger students use guided prompts and compare simple outputs; older students can develop multi-step prompts and combined-media projects. Beginners learn by changing one prompt element at a time, while experienced students plan more complex stories, characters, and chatbots. Short formats sample one or two tools; longer programs build toward a mixed-media showcase.
