Environmental research opportunities for students
Environmental research opportunities for students

Students will be presenting environmental research projects they've spent the year developing during a virtual research showcase this Friday.

We'll also be sharing highlights from our recent in-person International Science Fair, where young researchers came together to present their work, exchange ideas, and connect with peers from around the world.

One of the most exciting aspects of the program is that selected students and their teacher/chapter leader receive scholarship support to attend the annual science fair.

Please reach out if your are interested in attending the virtual event.

Has AI become a crutch for students, or is it just a new kind of learning tool?
Has AI become a crutch for students, or is it just a new kind of learning tool?

I've been thinking a lot about how students are using AI tools like ChatGPT in their daytoday schoolwork. There's a real tension right now between two camps. Some educators and students feel like AI genuinely helps with breaking down complex topics, getting instant feedback, and exploring ideas faster. Others feel like it's quietly eroding the skills we actually want students to build: critical thinking, writing from scratch, working through frustration when something is hard.

What I keep coming back to is whether the problem is the tool itself or how we're teaching students to use it. We don't ban calculators, but we still teach kids the underlying math. Could the same logic apply here?

I'm curious what others have experienced, whether you're a teacher, student, or parent. Have you noticed a difference in how students engage with material when AI is involved? Are schools moving fast enough to set clear expectations, or are we mostly just reacting after the fact?

I'd love to hear from people across different grade levels and subjects, since I suspect the impact looks pretty different depending on context.
