I recently had an interesting adventure: Give a class on GenAI at elementary school! I felt that my experience report could be interesting for the hackernews crowd, so I wanted to share it here.
Besides the obvious pedagogical challenges, I also faced technical challenges as I wanted to:
- only use models with open weights
- include all students and teachers into the generated images and videos within 1 hour
I evaluated several different models for that, but settled for Z-Image and WanAnimate in the end.
