Design Detectives & Your First AI Image
Kids discover what makes a design "work" (color, contrast, hierarchy) by becoming "design detectives," then write their very first AI image prompt.
- Name the 4 design basics: color, contrast, hierarchy, balance.
- Explain what a "prompt" is and the 4 parts of a good one: subject, style, mood, detail.
- Generate one original AI image that matches a written plan.
Hands-On Lab: "Prompt to Picture"
- Play "Spot the Design": compare two posters and list what feels good/bad.
- Fill in a Prompt Recipe card: Subject + Style + Mood + Detail (e.g., "a friendly robot, cartoon style, cheerful, holding a book").
- With your facilitator, generate the image using an AI image tool (Magic Media).
- Check it: Is it appropriate? Does it match your plan? Iterate once.
