CONCEPTUAL TALES

TEACHING CONCEPTS THROUGH AI-GENERATED ANALOGIES FROM POPULAR STORY WORLDS
SEP - DEC ’23



MIT CLASS “GENERATIVE AI FOR K-12 EDUCATION” TERM PROJECT

How can we harness the power of artificial intelligence and narrative to create a more intuitive and engaging learning experience for students?


Subjects at school and beyond can often feel dry and boring to learners. Yet, children and adults eagerly devote much time and energy to cinematic universes and fantastical story worlds.

I led a team of MIT/Harvard CS and Education students to develop Conceptual Tales, an educational AI chat tool that explains concepts using ideas from story worlds. Learners pre-select a popular story world (e.g., the Marvel or Harry Potter universe), request their own, or get one randomly.

Conceptual Tales was rated an average of 9/10 in play testing with middle and high school school students.
