Missed our November 5th Canada-wide Genius Hour? You can still bring this exciting learning experience to your classroom!

Join MindFuel’s Genius Hour—a dynamic, beginner friendly session where middle school students and teachers use Canva.AI to create their own hero’s journey through writing and visual design. No prior AI experience needed!

Middle and high-school students will:
-Use AI to define a unique hero and build a story arc
-Turn narratives into eye-catching visuals
-Blend language arts with digital design to experience the future of storytelling

Hands-on Activity (30 minutes):
-Identify classic archetypes
-Craft a hero story with AI guided prompts
-Design visuals in either handwritten or digital styles

Format: 1 hour collaborative workshop; after the intro and with step-by-step instructions, students will explore and test out our Zero to Hero learning object. To conclude the workshop, classes will do a short share back of their work with the rest of the group.
