This program aims to nurture future talent by providing creative convergence education utilizing generative AI for elementary, middle, and high school students.

Among the programs, "An Imaginative Journey with AI: I Am the Main Character in My Story!" for elementary school students was the first to launch.

Participating students used ChatGPT to create their own fairy tales and experienced generating characters using AI image generation technology.

Through activities ranging from building the story framework, completing the fairy tale, creating characters, to the final presentation, students further enhanced their enjoyment of writing and their creativity.

One student who attended the camp expressed their excitement, saying, "It was amazing and fun to see the story I made come to life as pictures." Parents also shared their impressions, stating, "It was impressive that AI was not just used, but integrated throughout the entire creative process, helping students develop their thinking skills."

Seungo Kim, Director of the Gyeongnam Institute for Educational Development, said, "I hope this program provides students with the opportunity to use AI as a tool while also expressing their own imagination and creativity," and added, "We will continue to develop diverse AI convergence education programs in line with changing times."
