Have you developed an exercise, a workshop, or a way of teaching with or about AI that belongs in front of more educators than the ones in your room? We'd love to include it in Grain.
About Grain - Recipes for Critical AI Literacy in Audiovisual & Creative Education
Grain is a cookbook of critical and creative AI literacy exercises for educators in film and the wider audiovisual & creative field, co-produced by AIxDESIGN and Netherlands Film Academy. It's for film educators, workshop facilitators, and anyone teaching creative practice in the middle of all of this. Recipes can be hands-on, analog, weird, serious, playful, short, long. What they share is that they help people think critically and make creatively with AI, together.
