This workshop introduced participants to the creative and practical applications of generative AI tools. Students explored how human creativity can be combined with AI capabilities by engaging in hands-on activities such as drawing a picture with specific characteristics and then using generative AI to produce accurate and refined digital versions of their sketches.

Objectives:

• Develop an understanding of generative AI concepts and tools.

• Enhance creativity by combining manual drawing with AI-assisted outputs.

• Build awareness of AI’s role in art, design, and problem-solving.

• Strengthen digital literacy and critical thinking skills in the context of AI.

• Provide students with practical experience in applying AI tools to real tasks.

Agenda:

1. Introduction to Generative AI – Overview of AI and its creative applications.

2. Hands-on Drawing Activity – Participants create sketches with defined characteristics.

3. AI Transformation – Use of generative AI tools to refine and digitize the drawings.

4. Discussion and Reflection – Comparing manual and AI-generated outputs, understanding limitations and potential.

5. Wrap-Up and Q&A – Recap of key learnings, addressing questions, and sharing resources.

Prerequisites:

• Basic familiarity with using digital devices (laptops, tablets, or smartphones).

• No prior technical or artistic background required—activities are designed to be beginner-friendly and inclusive.
