From Curriculum
to Culture

A keynote that became an arcade game.

I could have given a regular PowerPoint. Instead, I used the power of AI to build a playable story.

The decision

The safe option
was a slide deck.

But safe is rarely memorable. So I turned the keynote into a game the audience could play.

Much more fun. Much more interesting.

The result

The room
played along.

The room was packed. People participated instead of just watching. And the conversations continued afterwards.

Your story doesn’t have to stay in slides.

I want to help others turn presentations, reports and ideas into experiences people actually want to use.
