CREATIVE CAT

Teaching Computer Applications Technology - creatively!

Image
The Creative Cat is an AI that I built to let teachers and students have concepts and principles learned about in Computer Applications Technology explained to them in a way not possible in a classroom. The student can pick or suggest a topic, a concept or area of learning and then suggest how they’d like to learn about it. The Creative CAT could write a song, a poem, a story, a movie script, a speech and more. It could be their favourite actor, singer, celebrity YouTuber or TikToker, sports hero…whoever… in any way they prefer!
