The tasks I learnt the most from were:

Resilient tasks:

My favorite tasks were from the “resilient” category. For one of the tasks, I learned how to ice climb, which was challenging but fun once I got the hang of it. It taught me a couple of skills as well, such as learning to bounce back from setbacks.

Creative learner:
As a creative learner, I had the opportunity to use my creativity to brainstorm ideas, think outside the box, and experiment with different concepts in various projects, such as making a card game or writing.

Communicator:

I learned how to express my ideas clearly and effectively. Good communication involves not only speaking but also understanding and responding to feedback. This skill is invaluable in any collaborative environment.

Task 10: That’s Outlandish! (60 pts)

School days should start later and be shorter. In my opinion, they ought to start at 9:00 and end at 15:00.

Cost analysis: No additional cost.

Reasons (research included)

1. Teenagers need more sleep. Additional sleep supports our developing brain as well as physical growth spurts. Without this sleep, we can’t function properly in school, and it’ll be damaging to our physical health. Adults constantly forget what it was like to be a teen, and will therefore think this proposal is “outlandish.”
2. Teachers seem to be tired all the time as well. Just saying.
3. Shorter school hours mean that there will be more time for everybody to pursue interest out of school and grade/do homework.

Task 13: Wordplay (30 pts)

Imagine you live in a world with only 20 words. You can use these words as much as you want but you cannot use any other words.

List of words I would choose:

• Hi
• Food
• Water
• I
• You
• Need
• And
• Help
• okay
• are
• how
• Back
• Go
• to
• feel
• sick
• because
• Goodbye
• Do
• Fine

Hi, I need food and water. How do you feel? Do you feel fine? I feel sick because you are back. Okay, go and help. Goodbye!

Introduction

AI is a powerful tool that can be both helpful and destructive. We must learn to use it adequately, as it’s expanding rapidly and isn’t going anywhere soon.

My Goals Regarding AI

I plan to use AI as little as possible in academic settings, as I want my work to remain authentic and mine. If I do use it for research or similar purposes, I’ll check all the information with different sources, as I know how misleading information provided by AI can be.
