Safety and privacy
Safe by design, and easy to check.
This page is written so a principal or business manager can read it once and know exactly how the program handles students, their work and the AI tools involved.
Students never log in to an AI tool
All AI work runs on ODW accounts and ODW hardware, shown on the room's screen. Students direct it by talking and on paper. No student needs an account, an email address or a device of their own.
Only the drawing goes in
The one thing that goes into an AI tool is a photo of the drawing, cropped to the drawing box. The name and class fields sit below the box on our worksheet, so the crop never captures them. No names, no faces, no other student information.
The tools, named
The design step uses Google's Gemini image model. The 3D model is made with Tencent's Hunyuan 3D. We name them so the question of where a drawing goes is answered before anyone has to ask.
What ODW keeps
Original drawings stay at school. ODW keeps images of the creatures with minimal student identification.
Printing happens off site
The full set is printed at ODW. The one printer in the classroom is a supervised demonstration unit for the first print, handled only by ODW.
Honest about AI
We teach what these tools do well, where they get things wrong and why a person stays responsible for the result. Students see the AI make mistakes and learn to catch them.
Department policy
The program's set-up, with no student accounts and no student information entered into any AI tool, sits inside the Victorian Department of Education's policy on generative AI in schools.
