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.

🎲 Introducing #ProbabilisticThinking as a foundational fluency for children in the #GenAI era, complementing #ComputationalThinking

➡️ Read article: https://t.co/n0mQbzO79m

The ideas of probabilistic thinking, modeling, and learning lie at the core of #LLMs like #ChatGPT. How can children engage with these ideas in co-creative and personally meaningful ways?

Created by Media Lab PhD students @dhariwalshruti + @manujdhariwal, @cocobuild is a co-creative learning platform that empowers educators to engage students in real-time, creative collaboration with peers—in the same classroom or thousands of miles apart. https://t.co/ypfC2o8QEx

Nice. Learning could be collaborative, courteous, non-competitive. Why not? #EdTech #ConnectedLearning

Here’s the next #LearningCreativeLearning video, this one focusing on the theme of Peers, featuring @dhariwalshruti and @manujdhariwal talking about Being Creative Together with their new @cocobuild platform https://t.co/i1ZU7TkFkJ

[Ben Wheeler @benjiwheeler]

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

@dhariwalshruti @cocobuild @manujdhariwal @medialab I look forward to using @cocobuild as an educator @PennGSE and as a parent!

[coco.build @cocobuild]

Happy 2023! We're excited to bring the co-creative possibilities of CoCo in the hands of young people this year! Visit https://t.co/XVEKYWRr2d to join the invite list. #CreativeComputing #RealTimeCollaboration

[Eduard Muntaner Perich @eduardm]

Wow! This is fantastic! Looking forward to trying it out in the collaborative coding projects we do at @udigitaledu and @CatedraTEKHNE.

[Jen Perry @MrsJPerry2]

Super cool opportunities for paired programming and collaboration!!

[Shruti Mohnot Dhariwal @dhariwalshruti]

🌸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 https://t.co/C7Zk9f6qcq

[Joe Diaz @RealJoeDiaz]

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!
