Today at @aiDotEngineer NYC Kids Day, I taught kids to build games with @OpenAI Codex! 🎮 From basketball to skiing to Bluey-inspired games, some kids even demoed games on the big screen. Seeing them excited to keep building at home is why I teach. Thanks @liamcbride & @swyx! ✨

The AI Engineer Kids Day event was featured in the @aiDotEngineer World's Fair newspaper! 📰 The kids were possibly more proficient with AI than us. ✨🧑‍💻

Dad brought home the @aiDotEngineer Speaker Dinner gift. ChatGPT was great at making Godot games for AI Engineer Kids Day, so I used it on the puzzle.

GPT-5.5 thought 6m18s: “2x3 rectangle.”

Mom stared 1 min: “make a cube.”

Use AI for coding, not thinking 🤣

Amazing AI Engineer Kids Day! 🚀
Kids learned Machine Learning, Claude Code & Codex, then built games like corn mazes 🌽 and banana simulators 🍌 in just a few hours.
So inspiring to see their creativity unlocked with AI. 🧑‍💻🌈
Thanks @aiDotEngineer, @Neo4j & @catsandtech! 🙌
