Project description

In this STEAM program (with the "A" for Arts), young people use generative AI and digital editing techniques to create an artistically inspired showcase.
They explore both the possibilities and the limitations and risks of GenAI in words, images, and sound, in collaboration with experts from the field. Materials and expertise from renowned names such as Metaphysic, IMEC, and Motormusic Studio are combined with experienced science educators and facilitators from Spelenderwijzer, ERLNMYR, and Record&Playground.

In addition to working with text, visuals, and audio, the participants also learn to creatively apply the basic principles of theater technology (lighting and sound). This leads up to a final showcase where they present not only their personal creations (such as a theater scene, hip-hop track, slam poetry...) to an audience, but also explain the creative process behind it.
