The GENius AI Workshop project is a series of workshops aimed at young people aged between 13 to 16 years old. The aim of the series is to provide young people with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in the field of generative artificial intelligence (AI). In addition to teaching the basic concepts of generative AI, the series also offers insights into specific areas of application that are relevant for both the personal and professional development of the participants.
The workshops each last three hours and are divided into different phases. A brief welcome is followed by a theoretical introduction to Generative AI. The participants then work in groups on a task tailored to the respective topic. An additional aspect of the workshops is the discussion of ethical issues, particularly on topics such as deep fakes and social responsibility in dealing with AI. Each workshop is rounded off with a reflection round and a joint conclusion.
The series focuses on three main topics that illustrate the versatility of generative AI in different contexts:
(one topic will be covered per workshop, which topic is covered depends on the event title)
Future Skills – Job Search & Application 2.0: In this workshop, young people will learn how AI is influencing the world of work and how it can provide support in the job search and application process. The aim is to prepare participants for the changing requirements of the job market and provide them with practical tools.
Tech for Tomorrow – Climate and AI: This workshop deals with the role of AI in the fight against climate change. Young people will learn how technological innovations in the field of AI contribute to the development of sustainable solutions and how they can actively help shape them.
AI & Art – creativity redefined: This shows how artificial intelligence can contribute to the creation of new works of art. Participants are empowered to initiate their own creative processes and use AI to design art projects.
The GENius AI workshop series not only provides participants with practical skills and encourages them to learn about the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence and to reflect on the ethical aspects of these technologies. In this way, a well-founded, responsible and at the same time opportunity-oriented attitude in dealing with AI is promoted.
