We hope you’ll join us for [AI Meets LEGO® Creativity](https://thoughtbot.com/events/lego-ai-event), a special AI in Focus crossover with our podcast, Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots coming up on December 17, 2024. This livestream, hosted by thoughtbot CEO Chad Pytel, features a new kind of open source project, a fun AI use case, and a wild startup founder story.

## Building a new way to play

Our guest, Keira Czarnota, founder of emagineer, has an incredible journey to share. With thoughtbot’s help, Keira is bringing an innovative new AI-powered app to life, one that transforms your selfies into custom LEGO® figures. But that’s just the beginning. This project is not just about fun, it’s about expanding creative possibilities and inspiring the next generation of engineers and inventors.

✨ Attending this session will not only get you first look at a demo of the recently released beta of the app, you’ll get exclusive beta access yourself and insight into what's next.
