Every year since 2016, N/S High School has held a ``state-of-the-art entrance ceremony'' using VR equipment. In 2024, we will hold an "AI Entrance Ceremony" where each new student will receive customized content. When new students enter their information on a special website exclusively for new students while watching the live streaming of the entrance ceremony, they will receive personalized speeches tailored to their past efforts and aspirations after entering the school, as well as messages based on their interests. Welcome messages will be sent from current students, alumni, faculty, staff, and extracurricular organizations.
In addition, we held a generative AI workshop for current students who are interested in AI in advance, and used generative AI to create the opening video that was played during the opening ceremony for new students. In addition, we created the part-time introduction VTR, the introduction of annual events and extracurricular activities, and the end credits that will be broadcast during the ceremony, edited the videos such as adding captions for the congratulatory message, and performed the school song performance at S High School Ibaraki Tsukuba Main School. Current students also planned the filming and took drone shots, and many current students utilized their own skills to prepare content to welcome new students.
