Aspen EMEAI GeneratedMascot Workshop

Create. Explore. Refine. Present.

Use Microsoft Copilot to create a mascot that represents Aspen’s culture, values, and future vision.

Welcome to the Aspen AI Workshop

Today, your team will work with AI to create an original mascot that captures Aspen’s culture, values and future vision. You’ll start with an idea, use Microsoft Copilot to explore and develop it, bring your concept to life visually, and turn it into a final poster.

No design or AI expertise required. Bring your creativity, curiosity and teamwork.

Your workshop journey

From first idea to final presentation

  1. Step 1: Briefing - 15 min

    Get to know the challenge, understand what makes a strong mascot and explore the judging criteria.

    Your focus:

    • Challenge
    • Aspen values
    • Creative direction
    • Judging criteria
  2. Step 2: Character Building - 35 min

    Start individually, then come together as a team. Develop your mascot’s identity and use Copilot to explore and refine your ideas.

    Create:

    • Mascot Name
    • Personality
    • Superpower
    • Role within Aspen
    • Short Backstory
    • AI-generated 3D visual
  3. Step 3: Poster Creation - 15 min

    Bring your final mascot concept together in one compelling poster. Your poster should include:

    • Mascot name
    • Hero AI-generated visual
    • Personality & Role
    • Superpower
    • Short backstory & inspiration
    • Why this mascot represents Aspen

    And don’t forget: If your team reaches the Top 5, your Team Leader or nominated presenter will have 4 minutes to present your concept live on stage. Use this time to prepare your four key talking points. Here are the key points:

    • The inspiration behind the mascot
    • Its personality, role and superpower
    • How Copilot and prompt refinement shaped the result
    • Why it represents Aspen’s culture, values and future vision
  4. Step 4: TOP5 Voting + Coffee - 15 min

    Once all posters are submitted, explore the live gallery and vote for the five concepts you believe best represent Aspen. Your vote helps select the Top 5 finalists.

    You will submit your group poster and your individual vote using this platform.

  5. Step 5: Live Presentations and Jury Voting - 30 min

    The Top 5 teams take the stage. Each finalist has 4 minutes to present:

    • The inspiration behind the mascot
    • Its personality, role and superpower
    • How Copilot and prompt refinement shaped the result
    • Why it represents Aspen’s culture, values and future vision

    The Top 5 will be evaluated by the workshop jury. This jury will use the following criteria to judge:

    • Creativity & Originality
    • Aspen Brand & Values
    • Storytelling & Concept
    • Visual Impact
