In this exciting course, students aged 8 and up will learn to create their own interactive animated story using block-based coding and AI-generated content. Each student will be guided through the steps of designing and building their story from concept to completion, where unique characters navigate through vibrant scenes, enhanced with custom visuals and music.
With the help of our specialized AI tools, students will explore visual neural networks to unlock their creative potential. They will generate multiple images, including backgrounds, characters, and story elements, simply by describing them in words. Additionally, they will use AI to compose their own music, creating custom tracks and even writing songs with lyrics. These tools introduce students to the vast possibilities of artificial intelligence, empowering them to craft visuals and soundscapes that bring their stories to life.
The course will culminate in a final project: an interactive animated story enriched with AI-generated visuals and a custom song, blending technology, art, and storytelling. Along the way, students will also learn core coding concepts, such as conditional statements, loops, variables, and event blocks. They will design custom controls using input blocks to influence character actions and story progression. By the end of the course, each student will have created their own one-of-a-kind interactive experience, showcasing their ability to combine coding, creativity, and the power of AI.
