How might we collaboratively leverage the power of generative AI so that we look towards the digital horizon? 

Do you need more time, want more help, want to make learning more personalised? This session is for you! Join us for a design thinking challenge bringing your best and brightest ideas to develop a generative AI solution for some of the challenges and opportunities faced by schools. Facilitated by the dynamic EC by Go1 team, in this session you will collaborate with others from diverse backgrounds, come up with lots of ideas, (have plenty of laughs) and develop a tangible Gen AI prototype that will be shared with your peers, our ADG and the Department. Leveraging our collective genius and unique areas of expertise, the aim is to inform how Gen AI can be utilised to benefit Queensland staff and students in the future. 

Our focus questions for the generation of ideas will be: 

  • How might we use Gen AI as a personalised tutor to support our students?
  • How might Gen AI act as an assistant to improve learning opportunities for all staff?
  • How might Gen AI as a help desk staff member support efficiency at our site?

At the conclusion of the session, participants will have access to a digital gallery displaying the design prototypes generated during the workshop.

Target audience: all streams 
Bring: your divergent and convergent thinking skills
