Session Delivery

The session was slated for  building Kids animated Poems with AI tools.

The youngsters were introduced to AI-generated content and its applications in creating animated poems. Using CHATGPT, SUNO AI, and HAILUO AI tools, participants wrote poems, transformed them into audio recordings, and brought them to life with animations.

Participants learned about AI-generated content and its applications. They  developed creativity and critical thinking skills through poem writing and animation and also visualized poems in a fun and interactive way using AI-powered tools.
