The Brief

What this project is really about

My Grandma Can't Get Automated : Story Telling Using AI invites students in grades 9–12 to explore one of the most urgent creative questions of current times: can artificial intelligence (AI) truly tell a human story? Inspired by the participatory storytelling model, students will interview a grandparent, elder, neighbour, or loved one and capture their experiences, memories, and views in a world increasingly shaped by AI. Using AI as a creative collaborator, they will shape that conversation into a 2–3 minute documentary film under the theme "My Grandma Can't Get Automated." The most compelling films will be considered for community screenings and may be featured in an upcoming documentary by filmmaker and digital storytelling pioneer Siok Siok Tan.

Project Journey

Four phases. One real outcome.

Here's exactly what you'll do — and in what order. No surprises.

Phase One

Research & Discover

Immerse yourself in the problem. Gather real data, talk to stakeholders, and understand the landscape from primary and secondary sources.

⏱ Week 1

Phase Two

Analyse & Ideate

Find the patterns. Identify root causes, generate multiple solution ideas, and stress-test which approaches are genuinely feasible.

⏱ Week 2

Phase Three

Design & Build

Create your solution — whether it's a prototype, proposal, campaign, or product. Make it real enough to show an actual audience.

⏱ Week 3

Phase Four

Present & Reflect

Present your work, field questions, and articulate what you learned. Document your journey so others can build on it.

⏱ Week 4
