Weilan Planet: AI-Enabled Emotional Co-Creation for Migrant Children
This intervention reimagines psychological support for migrant children facing educational exclusion. Departing from AI tutoring tools, we pioneer an emotional co-creation framework where children transform personal struggles into collaborative art and stories.
At its heart lies a cosmic-themed modular space built from sustainable materials. Here, children verbalize challenges, triggering AI-generated visual metaphors that reframe vulnerabilities as shared creative resources. A novel "Pain-Point Co-Creation" mechanism merges individual narratives into collective problem-solving, while adaptive book recommendations deepen self-understanding.

Key innovations:
1.AI as Emotional Translator – Converts spoken words into symbolic animations, bypassing literacy barriers.
2.Imperfect Narratives – Raw emotional exchanges replace perfectionism, fostering courage through shared vulnerability.
3.Tactile Safety – Physical interactions with 3D-printed components build trust, countering screen dependency.

Rooted in migrant children’s need for dignified self-reinvention, Weilan Planet achieves three shifts:
· From AI tutor → emotional collaborator
· From isolated pain → communal creative fuel
· From passive observers → active co-authors
As a generative AI system focused on enhancing emotional literacy (rather than academic skills), it reimagines libraries as psychosocial empowerment hubs. By employing cosmic metaphors to alleviate real-world pressures, coupled with a sustainably designed modular structure, the system ensures scalable implementation across diverse communities.
