It’s a relatively small amount making it easy to participate and feel a sense of connection to a project and a legacy!

They weren’t solely relying on it for answers, rather they were able to use it to support them! I am curious about how you addressed their concerns about AI’s environmental impact.

That is both significant to the classroom journey, the school journey, and our internal, personal journeys. French is a way to do that!
