The GIANT Room believes the most engaging and effective learning experiences are the ones that are designed with kids’ point of view in mind, and even better, those that are designed with kids involved in the design process. These co-design partnerships not only provide opportunities for kids to meet and build prototypes with designers from leading media companies, but also make it possible to create learning applications that millions of kids around the world can use as an effective learning resource.
"AI is a powerful tool that - when designed thoughtfully and responsibly - can elevate students’ learning experiences." says CEO Dr. Azadeh Jamalian.
