Session description

In this project, students use AI to analyze and identify key themes from historical texts, transforming them into visual storyboards via Canva AI. By merging their work into a cohesive animation, they explore the intersection of technology, storytelling, and collaborative creativity.

Outline

In the presentation, four students will walk the audience through each phase of the project. Student 1 will introduce the purpose, emphasizing AI’s role in analyzing historical texts and fostering collaboration. Student 2 will explain how AI tools were used to summarize complex texts and identify key themes. Student 3 will then demonstrate how these themes were transformed into consistent visual storyboards using Canva AI, highlighting design choices and tools. Finally, Student 4 will present how the individual storyboards were merged into a unified animation, discussing teamwork, problem-solving, and the impact of digital storytelling on historical understanding.
