Supporting the right to education of disadvantaged children through story telling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project explores the use of AI to ethically and effectively develop a digital storytelling platform for children in low-income communities around the world. The work is the result of a collaboration between FirstBook<\/a> and The American University of Paris<\/a> and it was generously sponsored by a grant by John H. Lewis Jr.<\/em> Faculty Development Fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the design and development so far has been completed by Eli Hinson<\/strong>, Professor Roda’s research assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Spring 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n
