🌎 Learning at Stanford and My Exploration of AI
— From Education to Game Creation
I studied platform-based learning through an online program at Stanford University.
The online courses were intellectually stimulating, and exchanging ideas with learners from around the world led to many new discoveries.
At the same time, however, I began to strongly feel the limitations of learning exclusively online.
I found myself longing for the on-site experience — the atmosphere, the physical space, and the subtle energy that cannot be conveyed through a screen.
To deepen my learning further and experience AI in a real-world context,
I decided to visit Stanford University’s campus in San Francisco.
The moment I stepped onto the vast campus, I was overwhelmed by its scale and thoughtful design.
Unlike Harvard or Boston University, Stanford had an open, expansive, and innovative atmosphere.
I could truly feel the spirit of Silicon Valley — a place of challenge and creation.
🤖 From AI Education to Game Development
During on-site lectures and discussions,
I gained deep inspiration about how AI technology and education can be meaningfully connected.
I realized that education should go beyond digital efficiency.
AI has the potential not just to deliver information,
but to support individual thinking styles, emotions, and creativity.
This realization became a turning point.
Rather than using AI as a simple tool,
I began to see it as a collaborative presence —
one that can gently guide learners, adapt to their pace,
and help them discover their own way of thinking.
This philosophy is now directly reflected in my game development.
🎮 How This Learning Lives Inside My Games
The games I create are not designed merely to teach correct answers.
They are built to:
-
Encourage reflection and choice
-
Respect individual thinking patterns
-
Allow players to feel guided, not controlled
-
Blend learning with emotion, story, and meaning
In my games, AI supports the player quietly in the background,
much like a mentor walking beside them.
This approach was born from my experience at Stanford —
from witnessing how innovation, education, and human individuality
can coexist in a living environment.
Today, my educational games are an extension of that journey:
a fusion of AI, learning, and storytelling,
designed to support not only knowledge acquisition,
but the growth of the person behind the screen.
