8-Year-Old Teaches Engineering Students to Build Games with ChatGPT, Claude and Codex
cneuralnetwork · x · 2026-10-01
8-year-old Laksh ran a 2-hour workshop for 1st- to 3rd-year engineering students at Jyothy Institute of Technology, ahead of the Vedanta Makeathon, covering how to approach hackathons and build with AI tools.
Live on screen, he walked through turning a browser-based stickman game idea into a working build: planning and brainstorming with ChatGPT, finalizing the prompt, then building with Claude and Codex.
The poster, who has followed the family for over a year, calls it a rare case of a kid genuinely nurtured to become a builder — one who loves the process rather than being scripted by ambitious parents.
