How AI Works

AI creation is when we use smart technology, called Artificial Intelligence (AI), to help us make things like art, music, stories, games, and more. It’s like having a super creative robot assistant that can bring your ideas to life!

For example:
🎨 Want to design your dream character or create a digital painting? AI can help you sketch it out or add cool effects.
🎵 Into music? AI can help you create beats, mashups, or even a full song.
🎮 Making a game? AI can generate levels, characters, or stories to make it even better.
📖 Like writing? AI can help you come up with plot twists or write poems.

AI is a tool, and you get to be the boss, using it to turn your creative ideas into something amazing!

Let's Get Creating

AI Art Generation

You must be at least 13 years old to use Adobe Firefly.

Craiyon does not have such limits.

When writing a image creation prompt here are the main things you should think about:

Be clear about what you want - A person, animal, object, place, or creature

For example: A small robot sitting on a park bench

Not: Something futuristic

Add important details - Give a few specific details that matter. This could be size, colour, age, mood, action. 3–5 details is plenty.

For example: A small rusty robot sitting on a park bench, holding a flower in the rain

Choose an Art Style - Style tells the AI how it should look.

For example: cartoon, realistic, digital painting, pixel art, watercolour, anime etc.

Putting it all together.

AI Music Generation

Be clear about what you want - This is the main idea of the music.

For example: A song about a monkey eating bananas

Not: Something funny

Add important details - Give a few specific details that matter.
- mood (happy, sad, calm, tense)
- speed (slow, medium, fast)
- 2–5 details is plenty.

For example: A funny happy song about a monkey eating bananas

Choose an Music Style - Style tells the AI what it should sound like.

For example: electronic, orchestral, lo-fi, rock, chiptune, ambient, modern rap

Putting it all together.

A funny happy song about a monkey eating bananas in a West Coast rap style.

Make Some Music in Suno

Use Suno to make a song about an animal doing something. Make sure your prompt uses the the guidelines above. Make about 5 different prompts to make some songs and chose your favourite.

Download your song by pressing the (…) button and save it to a safe space on your computer.

AI Video Generation

Made with Sora

Make a video Your teacher might be able to use Adobe Firefly, Sora, or similar to generate a video as a class. This can then be shared to everyone.

You must be at least 13 years old to use Sora.

AI video is currently a lot more expensive to make so it may be easier if you do this activity as a class.

Be clear about what you want - This is the main idea of the video.

For example: A child flying a kite on a windy hill

Not: Something outdoors

Add important details - Give a few specific details that matter.
- who or what is in the video
- what they are doing
- time of day or weather
- mood or feeling

For example: A child flying a bright red kite on a grassy hill, strong wind, blue sky with clouds, joyful mood

Choose a Visual Style - Style tells the AI what it should sound like.

For example: realistic, cinematic, animated, cartoon, painterly, stylised

Choose Camera & Motion - Videos need movement.

This could include:

wide shot / close-up
slow camera pan
kite moving in the wind
clouds drifting

For example: wide shot, slow camera pan, kite pulling strongly in the wind

Putting it all together.

A child flying a bright red kite on a grassy hill, strong wind, blue sky with clouds, joyful mood, anime style, wide shot with a slow camera pan as the kite pulls in the wind.
