Hello. I'm mAIsami, an instructor who supports children's "thinking, communicating, and creating" through AI and design. For over 20 years, I've worked as a graphic designer, involved in the creation of various designs such as flyers, brochures, social media images, and logos. Currently, I leverage that experience to conduct AI utilization and efficiency workshops using ChatGPT, NotebookLM, Canva, and other tools for companies and individuals. In this workshop, aimed at upper elementary and middle school students, we use AI and design to put their thoughts and ideas into words and give them form as artwork. What's important isn't just how to use AI or how to create "prompts" for giving instructions. "What did I feel?" "What kind of thing do I want to create?" "Who do I want to communicate with, and what do I want to convey?" Through these questions, we cultivate the ability to organize one's thoughts and feelings and put them into words. To communicate your image to AI and expand on your ideas, you first need to organize your thoughts and put them into words. While enjoying conversations with AI and creating artwork, you will gradually develop your thinking skills, imagination, questioning skills, and ability to articulate your thoughts. In this course, you will create your own original character. You will think about the character's name, personality, world, and story, and expand your ideas through conversations with ChatGPT. You will consider the character's appearance and expressions, and then use image generation AI to bring it to life. Furthermore, you will use Canva to create a profile card or introductory image. Throughout the creation process, you will be asked questions such as: "Why did I choose this color?" "What do I want people to notice about this character?" "What feelings do I want viewers to experience?" By considering the reasons behind your choices of colors, shapes, and words, you will develop the ability to organize your thoughts and express them in a way that resonates with others. Furthermore, drawing on over 20 years of design experience, I will clearly explain techniques for creating visually appealing compositions and making characters attractive. Because we proceed carefully step by step without using difficult technical jargon, it's perfectly fine even if you're new to AI or design. Children who enjoy creating stories and writing, those interested in computers and AI, and those who love drawing and designing can all utilize their individual passions and personalities in their creative work. AI doesn't do everything for you. It's a powerful partner for expanding your own ideas and discovering feelings that haven't yet been put into words. Our goal isn't to memorize correct answers, but to learn "how to think," "how to communicate," and "how to present." Instead of simply using what AI creates, we aim for students to think for themselves, choose, and innovate to complete their own unique works. Through AI and design, let's have fun shaping the thoughts and ideas within ourselves into our own words and expressions.
