A creative and immersive experience at the Eureka! Festival with IA & Toi
Montreal Digital Spring had the pleasure of participating in the 18th edition of the Eureka! Festival, which took place from May 30 to June 1 at Parc Jean-Drapeau. The team had the chance to welcome a large number of young people during a Digital Café, a space for exchange and experimentation around artificial intelligence.
Through the activity “AI: your creative ally!” participants had the opportunity to discover the new IA & Toi program, designed to introduce young people to a creative, ethical, and responsible use of artificial intelligence.
The IA & Toi experience was brought to life through:
- An interactive game called “Assoc’IA”, which allowed young people to explore key concepts of artificial intelligence by matching images and definitions;
- A creation challenge to design Félix’s avatar in a single generation (prompt), sparking their creativity and ability to express themselves using digital tools;
- A souvenir photo, offered for free by Marabooth, to capture their participation and leave with their first “Prompt Boss” badge, as well as resources to continue their IA & Toi journey.
This initiative was a real success, reaching 975 young people who showed curiosity, enthusiasm, and motivation. Their creativity and eagerness to learn confirm the importance of continuing efforts to democratize artificial intelligence in a responsible and fun way.
