More ideas.

What a finished project shows

AI ArtSecondary · Ages 13–17

Make: A finished piece people can watch, play or explore, in any form. A talking character is a pet, object or place, never a real person.

AI’s job: AI makes, changes or responds inside the final work, and you shape it by choosing, editing, mixing or redoing what it gives you.

Shows:

  • A director's cut: at least 2 AI results you rejected or changed, side by side with what you used, and why.
  • An audience test with 3 viewers who don't know your main character: did they get the story you meant?
  • 1 change you made after that test, and credits for every tool and every generated part.
  • A process log with at least 4 dated entries, a short intro and your project or a demo judges can open.

Finalists on stage: 7 min talk + 3 min Q&A.

A summary: if the two ever differ, your challenge is what counts.
