Lesson 1
Overview
In a world increasingly shaped by AI and emerging technologies, students need more than technical skills; they need creativity, empathy, and ethical awareness. This culminating project challenges students to use AI as a creative and responsible design tool to raise awareness about a social issue or imagine a better future. Through the design thinking process, students explore how technology and art can work together to inspire change and align innovation with human values.
After this lesson, students will be able to...
- Apply the design thinking process to address a social or ethical issue connected to technology or AI.
- Identify how AI can be used creatively and responsibly to raise awareness or foster positive change.
- Design and prototype a project aligned with a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).
- Reflect on the ethical choices involved in AI-assisted creative work.
