Ashu Kumar asked his IST 110 students to collaborate with chat-based artificial intelligence to develop and document new board games created by mashing together rules and elements of existing favorites. 24 students participated in groups of four or five to design gameplay and boards, select appropriate game pieces and elements and then play tested each others’ creations, offering constructive feedback and reflection. Students uploaded their finished games and AI-created summaries to Padlet.
This was the first use of the Can AI Play? Dreamery experience activity outside of University Park and proves that the workshop can travel.
