BricksTory

A child–AI co-creation project that brings hands-on brick building and story making together.

All projects

Build first

Children create a scene with physical bricks, then share it with the system through a photo and optional text or speech. Their creation becomes the starting point for a story.

Make a story together

An AI partner interprets the scene and helps extend the story while keeping track of its details. The child remains the creator: the system is there to build on their ideas, not replace them.

Research and hobby meet

BricksTory brings my interest in human–AI interaction and creative learning together with my enjoyment of LEGO building. It asks how an AI system can join play as a supportive storytelling partner.
