Entry Events
Events that will be used to introduce the project to studentsThe Story Seed Challenge
Present students with a collection of intriguing story 'seeds' (e.g., a strange object, a peculiar character, a mysterious place) and challenge them to use AI to develop these seeds into full, personalized stories. This emphasizes the role of AI as a creative tool and encourages exploration of different narrative possibilities.Portfolio Activities
