GenAI focused workshops for education Professionals at HKU

In 2024, We hosted 3 cohorts of Generative AI focused workshops at faculty of business & economics, The University of Hong Kong.

We shared practical illustrations of using GenAI tools to boost efficiency into their daily work, topped with relevant use cases specifically for the faculty.

These were inspiring sessions filled with engaging discussions, hands-on demos, and fresh ideas to incorporate GenAI tools into educational use cases in next 3-5 years.

See you soon in next cohort!

Our cofounder, Andy Kong, has participated in the Taipei Generative Art Festival, an event dedicated to exploring the innovative potential of AI in artistic creation. This festival aimed to inspire creators to utilise generative AI technologies to express unique artistic perspectives and showcase how AI redefines contemporary aesthetics.

Through exhibitions and competitions, the event fostered public understanding and interest in AI's applications in the arts, providing a platform for creators to express their ideas. It was a vibrant dialogue at the intersection of technology and art.

We’re thrilled to have participated in Meet Taipei 2024! 🌟 This year, we proudly introduced CreatoAcademy to the Taiwanese market, presenting our innovative STEAM, GenerativeAI, Videography, and Summer Program series. These programs are crafted to equip students with the skills and creativity needed to excel in today’s digital world. The event was a fantastic opportunity to engage with educators, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, whose insights and feedback will help us enhance our offerings.

We look forward to continuing our mission of empowering the next generation of creators and innovators by bridging creativity and technology education! 🚀

This summer, Creato Academy welcomed two talented students, Sing and Dora, for a one-month immersive internship through the Seed Foundation Workplace Experience Program at our HKSTP office. Over the course of the program, the students explored real-world roles as a Digital Marketing Assistant and Social Media Content Designer, gaining hands-on experience in tasks like SEO, blog creation, and visual content design. With personalized mentorship and interactive checkpoints, they grew both professionally and personally, culminating in a reflective presentation on their journey. Their creativity, resilience, and enthusiasm truly showcased the potential of the next generation of creators!

Creato Academy proudly participated in the CLAP@JC Virtual Internship Program 2024, offering a unique 3-week experience for two talented interns, Grace and Vivian. During the program, they designed and drafted a bilingual course brochure targeting over 500 secondary schools in Hong Kong. This project not only showcased Creato’s creative and tech courses but also provided the interns with hands-on experience in design, content creation, and using GenAI tools. Through this enriching journey, Grace and Vivian honed their skills in Canva, information organization, and market research, while overcoming challenges with creativity and determination. Their outstanding efforts resulted in a professional, engaging brochure for both digital and physical distribution.

We are thrilled to announce that our students from TMCSS have won a merit award in the "Exploring Hong Kong Biodiversity Short Film Competition”, a video competition organized by the Hong Kong Education Bureau. As part of our "Path To Become a Creator" course, led by our talented instructor Sam, students applied their videography skills to create a compelling documentary on the diverse wildlife at Hong Kong's Wetland Park. Through hands-on experience in video shooting, storytelling, and editing, students not only honed their creative skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for biodiversity. This project was a fantastic showcase of their talent, teamwork, and commitment to environmental awareness.

Creato was honored to be part of InnoCarnival 2024, our booth featured interactive exhibits where visitors explored Creato’s unique educational programs. One highlight was our Smart Vending Machine showcase, where students, teachers, and visitors could scan a QR code, answer questions, and receive souvenirs. We were delighted to connect with so many curious minds and showcase the future of tech-driven, creative learning.

​

Moreover, Creato was thrilled to deliver an inspiring webinar on the evolving fusion of creativity and technology in education by our co-founder, Alex Tong. The session was live streamed and recorded to the InnoCarnival YouTube Channel, engaging a broad audience in discussions about empowering young minds through innovative learning approaches.

We’re excited to continue driving this meaningful conversation and look forward to future collaborations!

We are teaching the most trendy multimedia content! IG Reels workshop was held  with Ewen Cheuk as our honorable instructor.

We gathered more than 40 students to learn professional reels production techniques, from design thinking to digital marketing, and light students’ fire in becoming a content creator.

​

It was a fantastic memory to host this course. After Ewen’s insightful sharing, students were engaged in video shooting and editing sessions with him. We spotted many talented and passionate creators in this course!

We are not just talking on papers. Our Aviation Science 101 students has grew interested in the world of aviation and explored opportunities in Hong Kong with us in the Civil Aviation Department (CAD).

Our students listened to an exhibition guided by CAD staff and learnt more about “on-the-ground” operation of aviation industry in Hong Kong and internationally. Not to mention our students’ enjoyable free time to observe runways from a different perspective! 

We are very delighted to join the behind the scene works for an Anniversary Musical night. It was a remarkable experience indeed.

Our team led by Joseph Cheung worked as graphic 3D Design and Programmers. We worked collaboratively with teachers, alumni, and current students to produce background videographies leveraging GenAI technologies.

We are so glad to have offered airplane control simulation for primary school students on STEAM day.

Students got the opportunity to take off, fly and touch down an airplane with a steering wheel, and without any course prerequisite. What a fun experience learning from hands-on activity.

It was such a pleasure to present aviation industry in such entertaining way to all the bright minds and we surely would want more!

Presenting our booth in the STEAM Expo with our smart vending machine!

We greeted our students, teachers and visitors in the STEAM Expo, demonstrating one of the use cases of our vending machines that is to be built by students in the coming academic year.

Students and visitors came and scanned the QR code on our vending machine, answered 3 questions about the school to receive an exquisite souvenir designed by students.

We are overwhelmed to have partnered with @LuyiAcademy this summer to offer a Generative AI course in Tainan, Taiwan, we have Andy Kong and Joseph Cheung as our instructors teaching 37 Taiwan students there!

​

This course incorporates comprehensive knowledge about information literacy, design thinking and AI development. Students will learn and make use of GenAI technology with the latest tools, and practice the powerful multimedia generation abilities of GenAI. 

We also offer students the opportunities to compete in teams to create, fostering the growth of leadership and collaboration skills.​

Only have half a day? We can still teach you something valuable. The emergence of GenAI aroused interests among secondary school students. In their visit to Hong Kong, we held a GenAI 101 workshop to teach them about text-to-image, image-to-image, prompt engineering, and held a debate about ethical use of GenAI!

​

It was an astonishing experience to hear the inspiring thoughts from young big thinkers. We are excited to hear more thoughts of GenAI from you too!
