Empowering Students with Generative AI: Creative Projects for High School

Generative Digital Intelligence (GDI) tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepAI, and Copilot are transforming how students learn and create. In our classrooms, these tools are not just for answering questions—they’re catalysts for collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

Project 1: The Most Suitable Computer for a High School Student

For 9th graders (13–14 years old), we launched a team-based project: “The most suitable computer for a high school student.”
Students worked together to:

  • Define key criteria such as budget, performance, portability, and battery life.
  • Use GDI conversational tools to research and compare options.
  • Create presentations and infographics summarizing their findings.

This activity encouraged analytical thinking and digital literacy, preparing students for real-world decision-making.

Project 2: Creative Holiday Greetings

For 10th graders (14–15 years old), the challenge was to design Christmas and Easter greetings using:

  • Conversational GDI for crafting original, age-appropriate messages.
  • Text-to-image generators for festive visuals like Christmas trees, Easter eggs, and snowy landscapes.

Students combined text and images to produce digital cards and social media-ready designs, blending creativity with technology.

Why These Activities Matter

  • Collaboration: Students work in teams, sharing ideas and responsibilities.
  • Critical Thinking: They evaluate options and justify choices.
  • Creativity: They design personalized greetings and visuals.
  • Digital Skills: They learn to use AI tools responsibly and effectively.

Generative AI is not replacing creativity—it’s amplifying it. By integrating these tools into education, we empower students to become innovators and problem-solvers in a digital world.
