Little Language Models, developed by Media Lab PhD students Manuj and Shruti Dhariwal, helps kids learn how AI models work by giving them tools to build small-scale versions of their own. Little Language Models, which is being trialed in schools over the next month, runs inside @cocobuild—a learning platform, also developed by the Dhariwals, that empowers educators to engage students in creative computing experiences with peers. technologyreview.com/2024/10…

Nice. Learning could be collaborative, courteous, non-competitive. Why not? #EdTech #ConnectedLearning A Decade Into Experiments With Gamification, Edtech Rethinks How to Motivate Learners edsurge.com/news/2023-05-09-… #edtech via @EdSurge

Thrilled about the new project @cocobuild at the @medialab, based around real-time co-presence. I love that the focus is on a shared creative space, not necessarily explicit collaboration cc: @stevekrouse @thisandagain @aresnick

Super cool opportunities for paired programming and collaboration!!
🤩 I had the chance to connect with Shruti & Manuj as they started building @cocobuild and it's so exciting to see it come to life! Congrats!

🌸The idea of building a "self-less" social platform for young people has been central to all the small and big design choices in @cocobuild. @manujdhariwal @medialab bit.ly/coco-values
Interested in co-creativity, collaboration, and "selfless" social systems that connect young people with their peers? PhD students @manujdhariwal + @dhariwalshruti share their motivations, ideas, and values in creating a new learning platform, @cocobuild. bit.ly/coco-values

Super cool to see how @cocobuild can allow kids (and those who act like kids) to collaborate on fun projects across the globe! You go, code CoCo!
Meet @cocobuild! @LLKGroup PhD students @manujdhariwal and @dhariwalshruti have launched a new co-creative learning platform that supports #RealTimeCollaboration for block-based coding, text-based coding, art-making, and creative writing. coco.build/
