Turn a teacher's lesson talk into a playable simulation
An open-source agent system lets a teacher talk through a lesson and returns a playable simulation for students, grounded in pedagogy. ·
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- Ethan Mollick's post announces Primer, an open-source, agent-driven system from Wharton's Generative AI Lab. A teacher talks through a lesson, and the system returns a playable simulation for students, grounded in pedagogy. The post gives no detail on the internal steps or on where a teacher steps in.
- How it went
- The post reports no results, numbers or evaluation. It only announces the release and says the paper, prompts and code are open for educators and researchers to build on.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
I'm going to describe a lesson I teach on [topic] for [grade level or audience], including the key concepts, common misconceptions, and what students should be able to do afterward. Build a single-file interactive web simulation students can play in a browser, with choices that let them test ideas and feedback that corrects misconceptions. Finish by running it locally, telling me how to open it, and listing which learning goals each part covers.
