Little Language Models: Empowering Children to be Future AI Modelers

Slides
CSTA 2025 Conference Slides Resource Library
This session introduces Little Language Models, a free AI microworld for ages 8–16 on the CoCo platform. Students use their own data to build models and create projects like generative art, music, and games. The tool supports culturally responsive, hands-on learning and helps demystify AI concepts like bias and probabilistic thinking. Presented by: Manuj Dhariwal and Shruti Dhariwal
