Discover Creativity with AI: Workshop for Students

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is inviting middle school students (age 13 and above) residing or studying in Tokyo to join a unique workshop focused on developing applications through dialogue with AI. Scheduled for October 18 and November 2, 2024, the sessions will be held at the Tokyo Innovation Base, offering young innovators an opportunity to learn and create in an engaging environment.

What to Expect

The workshop will introduce participants to the concept of AI literacy and the innovative approach known as Vibe Coding. This method allows students to create applications tailored to their interests without writing traditional programming languages. Instead, they will engage directly with AI, creating diagnostic apps that recommend personalized products and experiences.

Mentors will guide participants through the entire process, ensuring that all attendees feel supported as they navigate this exciting new world of technology. This workshop aims to enable students to connect with AI and harness its capabilities effectively.
