Resources (exploring canva AI)

futureprepd2 — 2026-04-30 19:24:59 UTC

Students exploring Canva AI and making a list of things that were a struggle with the platform!

Some bugs-

AI sometimes doesn't understand what we are saying

AI “hallucinates and gives wrongs answers

AI sometimes struggles to access memory properly

Reflection

futureprepd2 — 2026-04-30 19:24:59 UTC

Students were able to participate well when we broke them up into smaller groups and gave each small group a task to share out to the large group.

It was tricky for many students to grasp the concept of what we were doing and why. I think this whole process was very new to them!

I think it would have been very beneficial for the first day of camp to have been more focused on team building and the design thinking process. This way the kids would have a bigger picture of the process before diving into activities.
