Ready to make something with AI?
We've got a challenge for you!
SPACE invites students for an amazing opportunity to explore the uses and pitfalls of artificial intelligence through an open-ended AI Making Challenge. Whether you’re a seasoned techie or completely new to AI, this challenge is your chance to iteratively prompt, validate, and shape a project — be it a data visualization, story, video, web application, piece of music or some other medium — into something uniquely yours.
Here’s what you need to know:
• Submission deadline: May 4
• In-person showcase at Dawson: May 9 (with prizes across multiple categories!)
No technical background is required and all Dawson students are welcome to join. Your reflection on the AI-creation process will be just as important as the final product.
Registration information, project ideas and guidelines are provided along with a discord server for resources and support for students.
We can’t wait to see what you’ll create!
UpCycle the Runway
Fashion through a different lens
UpCycle the Runway is a unique fashion show event that aims to address the environmental and social challenges posed by fast fashion. Through the up-cycling of second-hand clothing, our Cin | Com Integrating Activity class project demonstrates how fashion can be both innovative and environmentally conscious. By breathing new life into discarded clothing, the collection seeks to challenge the throwaway culture prevalent in the fashion industry and emphasizes the need for a more sustainable approach. This fashion event not only promotes the value of reducing waste but also aims to inspire others to reconsider their consumption habits.
The show will take place in Conrod's (2F.4) on Apr. 24 from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM.
