TED, the LEGO Group and the LEGO Foundation bring you Play@TED, a partnership to drive a movement and change how people of all ages think about play. Together, we’ll highlight how creative play can be a game-changer in the world and lead to brighter minds, braver ideas and a more imaginative future for everyone. Learn how you can put play into practice:
Hosted by comedian and “How to Be a Better Human” podcast host Chris Duffy, the Play@TED event unfolds across three sessions of TED Talks — Play Is a Language, Play Is a Craft and Play Is an Adventure — connected by two studio segments hosted by TED-Ed’s Alexandra Panzer and Alex Rosenthal, packed with games, experiments, live performances and conversations with creators like inventor Simone Giertz and Dude Perfect CEO Andrew Yaffee. Onstage, you’ll hear from Harlem Globetrotter and artist Maxwell Pearce, early childhood development leader Erum Mariam, footwear designer Salehe Bembury, West End star Suki Hillier, origami innovator Miles Wu — and many more.

Just want to point out that both the children and AI work are the product of human creativity. After all, AI is illegally trained on many great Artists, and won’t function as well as it does without their work.
100% agree with the young artist, art and creativity is not exclusive. It’s a capability we all have just like we are all capable of learning any language at birth, the more you train it/use it the better you get at it.

LEGO was my childhood.
But I would never put my Lego sets up for sale.
I would rather my kids play with it

The only challenge Lego presents is accidentally walking on them in the middle of the night
