EXPLORING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ POTENTIAL FOR IMPROVING DESIGN WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Abstract
This community engagement initiative aimed to enhance digital literacy and graphic design skills, mainly focusing on the Canva application with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). The project significantly improved participants' understanding of digital literacy and equipped them with practical graphic design abilities while introducing the potential of AI in design. Students from SMA Budi Mulia Tangerang benefited from this initiative, gaining the skills needed for today's digital age, including harnessing AI for design enhancements. The introduction of Canva, combined with AI capabilities, provided an accessible tool for creative expression, and participants demonstrated enhanced graphic design skills. Emphasis on digital ethics ensures responsible technology use, including AI-powered design tools. This project highlights the importance of tailored education in a digital era, promoting digital literacy, creativity, ethical technology use, and AI integration among high school students.
