To ignite students’ curiosity and understanding of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) integrates into the realm of Design and Technology.
Imagine walking into a world where your creative ideas are gathered, enhanced, and transformed by a digital assistant—an AI that understands your vision and helps you make it a reality. Today, we are going to explore just that!
Begin the lesson by projecting a scene from a futuristic design studio. The studio is filled with designers, each collaborating with an AI-driven platform. You can describe it:
"Picture a vibrant workspace. Designers are not alone; they are joined by AI systems, sketching, prototyping, and even suggesting improvements in real-time. One designer, let’s call her Mia, uploads her initial sketches for a new sustainable product. Within seconds, the AI analyses the designs, recommends alternative materials, and even predicts market trends based on consumer feedback."
Activity: Ask students to brainstorm ideas for their own AI-enhanced design project. In small groups, have them identify:
Prompt Questions:
Once students have shared their ideas, explain that today’s lesson will explore:
By drawing them into a creative and collaborative mindset with a futuristic scenario, you lay a strong foundation for learning about AI's role in design and technology, setting the stage for an engaging and innovative lesson ahead.
This imaginative approach will not only capture students’ attention but also foster collaboration and critical thinking as they delve deeper into the fascinating intersection of AI and design. Let’s design our future together!
