Lesson 3: Design for Impact – Create Your Own Emerging Tech Story

Overview

AI and emerging technologies are transforming how people share stories, shape opinions, and understand truth. In this lesson, students become designers of impact by using creative media to explore how technology influences trust, ethics, and human connection. By telling their own stories, students move from being passive consumers to responsible creators in the digital world.

After this lesson, students will be able to...

  • Apply their understanding of AI and digital media to create an original, meaningful story or message.
  • Demonstrate media literacy by showing how emerging tech can inform, inspire, or mislead.
  • Use creative expression (art, writing, video, or performance) to communicate ideas about ethical innovation.
  • Reflect on the power of technology to shape perception and the importance of human responsibility in design.
