THE BIG QUESTION

AI CAN MAKE THE PICTURE.
CAN YOU MAKE THE IDEA?

Technology is changing creative work at extraordinary speed.

Students can now generate images, write copy, create layouts and explore ideas in seconds.

But technology doesn’t remove the need for creativity.

It makes creative thinking, judgement and decision-making even more important.

The tools are changing. The thinking still matters.

WHAT STROH TEACHES

WE TEACH THE THINKING BEHIND THE MAKING..

STROH helps young people learn how to question problems, generate ideas, make decisions and communicate creatively.

They learn to use technology and AI as tools, rather than allowing the tools to do the thinking for them.
