PeriodContent
6/15–6/26Independent inquiry project — topic selection, research, solution design
6/29–7/10Project report completion and final presentation

Students independently select a problem from home, school, community, or ESG domains and apply AI tools to propose and document a solution. Evaluated on process rigor, not just output.

Assessment

ComponentWeightMethod
Presentation/Discussion~30%Unit 1 presentations and peer discussion
Lab Observations~30%In-class coding and tool-use assessments (Units 2–3)
Inquiry Project Report~40%Final written report + presentation (Weeks 14–16)

Assessment focuses on process over results. Change tracking (Git/Colab commit history) may be used to evaluate iterative work. Rubrics emphasize the quality of reasoning, tool selection rationale, and ethical reflection.
