GIANT Comic Book: The Adventures of 17 Animal Scientists & Prompt Engineers
For four weeks, The GIANT Room joined students and teachers to learn about AI literacy, storytelling, and science. As part of the school’ Inheritance and Traits science unit, we focused on animal characters, the special powers and physical traits of these characters, played games that connected the characters together based on their traits, and then used these traits as the foundation of a comic strip story.
During the sessions with The GIANT Room team, students created their own collectible animal trading cards using generative AI, used text-based AI as a group storytelling tool, drew comics of their stories, and even worked together to come up with what the setting of their stories looked like using block-based prompt engineering.
We want to thank this public school and the Joan Ganz Cooney Center for their partnership and to the Robin Hood Foundation for funding the program and making this publication possible.
