🌟 ‘THE STORY ENGINE’ Empowering Teens to Embrace the Future 🌟
As part of a Quanticopia collaboration with York Explore Libraries we recently presented an exciting and wonderfully successful AI workshop with a brilliant group of ten teenagers! 🎉
What started as an introduction to artificial intelligence turned into a creative explosion of new ideas, and these young minds really dove into how AI can be an empowering tool. 💡
The workshop was designed to not only introduce AI but also get the attendees to interact with it, pushing the limitations of AI and brainstorming innovative ways to leverage the technology.
It was amazing to see how they engaged with the top, fully participating, asking sharp questions, and, most importantly, discovering how AI could be part of their creative toolkit.
💬 The Highlights? Watching them come up with unique ways of using the technology and recognizing ways in which they could maintain creative control over such a powerful tool.
From collaborating with AI to generate new ideas to understanding its practical uses, the session turned into a hands-on exploration of how they could integrate AI into their personal projects and future careers. 🌍✨
The Takeaway? Teenagers are ready to take on the AI-driven world, and they're doing it with a mix of creativity, curiosity, and excitement. This generation will surprise us all!
Some of the most fun parts of the workshop were reading the results when the teenagers asked ChatGPT to put a sentence like 'There is no business like show business' using the voices of Shakespeare, Donald Trump, Taylor Swift and Drake. Try it with your own favourite personalities, it’s surprising.
What creative ways do you use AI? And what do you perceive as it’s pros and cons?
Full disclosure (and I’m not embarrassed to admit it) I had ChatGPT help me with this post.
