About This Activity
This interdisciplinary, student-led workshop invites learners from 6-12th grades to create their own fictional worlds using a blend of creative writing, drawing, and introduction to the use of AI tools. Whether they're imagining a distant planet, a hidden kingdom, or a future society, students will explore storytelling through geography, history, language, and design. Designed especially for emerging tech designers, the workshop supports a range of expression, from budding writers, passionate artists, and creative designers with opportunities for harnessing their creativity. suto be inclusive, allowing students to express themselves in whatever is most natural. This includes design options such as; writing, sketching, mapmaking, or digital design. Students of all abilities and learning styles are welcomed and supported through teacher and tech supports. In addition to encouraging imaginative exploration, this workshop also introduces students to responsible and mindful AI use, including discussion around the energy consumption and environmental impact of these tools.
