Aim
To design a creative concept for an AI-powered app that solves a real-world problem ethically and responsibly.
Materials Required
-
Chart paper or drawing sheet
-
Sketch pens or colored markers
-
Sticky notes (for brainstorming)
-
Pencil and eraser
-
Optional: internet or mobile device for quick research
Step-by-Step Activity Plan
Step 1: Identify a Real-World Problem (10 min)
Think about problems in your school, community, or city.
Examples:
-
Overflowing dustbins and waste issues
-
Students feeling stressed or anxious
-
Stray animals needing food
-
Water or electricity wastage
-
Difficulty in finding lost items
Write these ideas on sticky notes and stick them on the board.
Step 2: Choose One Problem (5 min)
As a group, select one meaningful problem you really care about.
Ask yourselves:
-
Who faces this problem?
-
Why does it matter?
-
How could technology help?
Encourage students to feel empathy — put themselves in the shoes of those affected.
Step 3: Imagine How AI Can Help (10–15 min)
Now brainstorm:
“How could AI make this better?”
Think of:
-
What type of data will AI use? (images, voice, text, movement)
-
What will AI do? (predict, detect, recommend, recognize)
-
What will users see or do in the app?
👉 Example:
Problem: Too much food waste in school canteen.
AI Solution: An app that uses image recognition to detect leftover food and suggest portion sizes.
Step 4: Sketch Your AI App (15 min)
On chart paper, draw your AI-powered app concept.
Include:
-
App name
-
Main screen layout or logo
-
Key AI feature (what makes it smart?)
-
Who the users are
-
How it helps people
Encourage creativity — use color, simple shapes, and captions.
Step 5: Present Your Idea (10–15 min)
Each group presents their “AI for Good” idea to the class as a short pitch.
Include in your presentation:
-
What problem are you solving?
-
Who will it help?
-
How does AI make your app smart?
-
Why is your idea fair, safe, and ethical?
