🤖 AI Assistant Corner

Artificial Intelligence can be a valuable tool throughout your project development process. You may use approved AI tools to help brainstorm ideas, conduct research, organize information, create project plans, improve writing, develop presentations, debug code, and prepare videos. The more details you provide about your project, the better AI can support your learning and creativity.

When using AI, be specific about your project title, goals, materials, technologies, and target audience. AI can help you organize your thoughts and generate ideas, but you are responsible for making decisions, verifying information, creating original work, and completing the project yourself.

Recommended AI Tools

• ChatGPT

• Google Gemini

• Microsoft Copilot
