Design Inspirations Through Generative AI - The combination of Vizcom AI with Siemens Solid Edge, empowers students to explore and adjust their ideas in ways previously deemed unattainable, changing the classroom narrative entirely. This class will focus on artistic design, with AI (artificial intelligence) acting as the catalyst that unlocks an array of new creative insights and artistic expression, that by their very nature entices student learning and keeps them engaged. Students today have the unparalleled opportunity to learn and develop new ideas at a pace that would have been unimaginable literally months ago. In the past, we've witnessed a lot of talk and promises about involving students more actively in their education and improving outcomes. However, all too often, the reality has fallen short of the hype. With the advent of AI, a revolutionary change is occurring. Promises now become tangible realities. It's a thrilling time for education. The real challenge for designers is not to fear Ai, but to embrace it. To do that, you need to learn how to infuse Ai in the design process. You will quickly realize that Solid Edge and Ai are not only tools, but partners in the design process that can help you design faster, better, and smarter.
