• Text-to-Video Creation: Learn how to create any video from plain text.
• Deepfake/Faceswap: Discover the art of realistic face swapping in images.
• AI Avatar Maker: Create a digital version of yourself or your alter ego using just a photo and some
text.

Get ready to unleash your creativity like never before! By the end of these activities, not only will you
have a solid understanding of Generative AI, but you’ll also have your very own AI-generated
creations. Let’s get started and see where your imagination takes you!

Try out one or all of these activities!

Creating video with text

Starting with Text-to-Video Creation, you can step into a world where your words can literally
come alive. At the moment we can create videos with AI using only text to describe what we want
to see. We’re going to use an AI tool called Haiper to create our first AI masterpiece then use one
of the best AI video generators, RunwayML to create even more stunning videos.

Haiper

Visit Haiper.ai (https://www.haiper.ai), and follow the instructions below.

You can follow the guide below or click on “Open larger”, and our handy app, Tango, will guide
you step by step. Just install the Tango extension for Google Chrome (https://

Reflect:

• The videos we get from these tools are not perfect. If we were unhappy about
something created by the tool, could we change it?
• If we were to put the same character into different scenes, do they look the same?

Created a video entirely with AI? Yes, you did! Show off your AI-generated video
masterpiece by sharing it with us. See how your words became a visual story and inspire

Becoming our heroes

Jumping into the world of deepfake and faceswap is an exciting and powerful way to understand
the capabilities of Generative AI.

Reflect:
When engaging with deepfake technology, it’s critical to think about the consequences of
our actions:

• Consent is Key: Always obtain explicit consent from individuals whose likenesses you
wish to use. Without consent, do not proceed. This is not just a legal formality—it’s a
cornerstone of respect and privacy. Imagine if someone else took your face and
made you say something that you would never have.
• Integrity Matters: Make sure the content you create is never harmful or defamatory.
We’re here to learn and innovate, not to belittle or deceive.
• Purposeful Creation: Aim to produce content that is enjoyable or serves a
productive purpose. Use this technology as a force for good, showcasing your
creativity and technical skills positively.
• Reflect Before You Act: Before publishing or sharing a deepfake video, consider its
potential impact. Could it be misinterpreted? Could it inadvertently cause distress? If
in doubt, err on the side of caution.

We’re going to use a tool called Vidnoz. We can create a few videos or images a day for free, but
in order to download them, we need to make an account. Head over to Vidnoz (https://
www.vidnoz.com/face-swap.html) to get started.

You can follow the guide below or click on “Open larger”, and our handy app, Tango, will guide
you step by step. Just install the Tango extension for Google Chrome (https://
chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tango-create-how-to-guide/

Re-imagining our identity

Great choice to dive into creating your own digital avatar using AI! This activity is not only fun but
also an introduction to the power of AI in personalization and digital identity creation. Here’s how
you can get started:

• Capture Your Image: Take a clear, front-facing photo of yourself in good lighting. Make
sure your facial features are clearly visible, as the AI will need these details to create your
avatar.
(/users/ • Describe Your Style: Write a brief description of how you want your avatar to look. You can

specify things like the style of clothing, accessories, and even the type of expression you

want your avatar to have. The more detailed your description, the more personalized your
avatar will be.
• Create Your Avatar: Upload your photo and description to the AI avatar maker tool. The AI

allows you to creatively express your identity through technology. Have fun experimenting with
different styles, and see how you can make your avatar uniquely yours!
