Eight-year-old uses Grok Build to ship a kid arcade with emulators and mini-games

A parent says their 8-year-old used Grok Build to create a kid-friendly game hub with several game clones, a Mac simulator, an iPhone simulator, and local AI/TTS integrations.
The linked project, Kid Arcade, is a GitHub Pages-ready playground of browser toys:
- Fake Mac and phone shells that host the games
- Offline chat personas and local-model wiring
- A set of public mini-games, from bird and cat sims to build-and-play clones and idle toys
The point is less about polish and more about how a child can iterate from one simple game to a whole little arcade while discovering ideas along the way.
