International and Intergenerational AI-Human Collaborative Digital Story Writing Competition

國際AI人類協作數位故事寫作大賽

主辦機構 Organizers:  
A22 Education For All Foundation

香港電腦教育學會 The Hong Kong Association for Computer Education

​

協辦機構: 
香港教育城 Hong Kong Education City
iSTEM AI Lab

​

This exciting AI-human collaborative competition is for students (primary and secondary) and older adults (55+) from around the world to work together on a digital story/book (fiction or nonfiction). Students and older adults are encouraged to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help write creatively and collaboratively. Each team can write a story/book about how AI and robots can help improve our everyday life. Although we recommend participants to write about AI and robots, we also welcome participants to write on any other topics. In any case, participants (younger and older) will learn a new way of writing - AI-empowered writing. Though we try to promote intergenerational participation, teams without a younger or older partner can still participate in this fun event. 

 

The winners will receive attractive prizes! To equip students with the knowledge and skills to participate competently in this interesting competition, 10 workshops will be offered for free to the participants!
