Jerry Yan, an AP Research student, presents his artificial intelligence research. Yan has been researching how PAUSD students engage with AI, and how AI literacy education can reshape its use. “I've been doing true experimental research stemming from how we use AI at home,” Yan said. “If I have an MCQ quiz that I want to do, do I want to just store it all into chat GPT or are there other ways that we can prompt you to not do that?”

Succulent leaves have a waxy coating covering the outside of the leaf called the cuticle. Also, the swollen leaf shape efficiently packs higher volume into a smaller surface area. This prevents moisture from evaporating, which helps the plant maintain homeostasis. The spiral leaf arrangement funnels moisture down towards the roots under the center of the plant.
