In this on going class, students will learn the meaning of AI (artificial intelligence) and be given prompts using language arts skills to help create a fun and imaginative coloring page.  Language arts prompts will include nouns, prepositions, adjectives, verbs and more. Students will work as a team and combine their thoughts together to generate a unique AI coloring page that we will color in class. For example, students may come up with "a panda in space eating popcorn", or "three dogs eating a banana under a bridge ". The teacher will use their special "AI Thinker 3,000" to generate the coloring page. Students will color the AI generated coloring page and share with with the class. Each week will be different as students will brainstorm their next AI creation!

The theme for the first class will already be chosen by the teacher. Students will discuss the theme for the next AI coloring page that will be used in the second class. The themes made in one class will become the AI coloring page for the next class, and so on. 

As an added language bonus, we will learn a new "Tech Term of the Week". These are typically Greek or Latin root words that relate to STEM ideas. Learning the root word will help students begin to understand technology concepts. For example, students may not know what "astronomy" means, but when they learn the root word of "astro", they will understand that astronomy has something to do with stars. 

*** Please note, this is not a drawing class. This is a coloring club for students to conceptualize an idea, then color an AI generated coloring page during class. Students will have time at the end of class to share their coloring page with everyone.
