Designing Games for Enabling Co-creation with Social Agents

Understand

Digital tools have long been used for supporting children's creativity.

• Digital games that allow children to create artifacts and express themselves in a playful environment serve as efficient Creativity Support Tools (or CSTs).
• Creativity is also scaffolded by social interactions with others in their environment.
• In our work, we explore the use of game-based interactions with a social agent to scaffold children's creative expression as game players.
