How can young people engage in diverse constructive learning experiences online (beyond playing games) while also feeling authentically connected with their peers in real-time?

How can we envision anxiety-free social platforms for children and teens that are intentionally grounded in the core principles of mindfulness such as non-judgment, interconnectedness, and compassion?

. . .a new type of co-creative digital environment. . .

Instead of exclusively focusing on “working together,” CoCo spaces are designed to support multiple ways of “being together.” Creators can opt to work independently alongside others, share code and media with each other in real time, or build collaborative creations.

Coco is also consciously designed as a “self-less” social platform that departs from the widely prevalent individual-centric paradigm (of profiles, likes, followers, etc.), rooted excessively in the ideas of comparison and gamification. In CoCo, the fundamental unit in the system is not the individual user, but instead the co-creative spaces where young people engage in with peers.

CoCo's Little Language Models, a project developed by Lifelong Kindergarten PhD researchers Manuj Dhariwal and Shruti Dhariwal,

as part of the Preparing for 21st Century World track, which aims to support and prepare students to navigate the changing world.

Each track has three different award levels:

• Catalyst ($50,000): for early stage ideas or products
  
  
• Growth ($150,000): for products with some users and scale
  
  
• Transform ($300,000): for established platforms with 10,000 or more users
  

CoCo was the recipient of a Growth award

is especially designed to be developmentally appropriate for young learners, helping them explore and engage early on with the foundational ideas underlying Generative AI systems—in ways that are co-creative, playful, and personally meaningful for them.

also highlights a shift towards introducing ‘Probabilistic Thinking (PT)’ as a foundational fluency for children in the AI era, in addition to Computational Thinking (CT).

Little Language Models is rolling out on the Dhariwals’ online education platform, coco.build, in mid-November, and they’re trialing the program at various schools over the next month.
