Section Notes

​​​​​​Designed for students who crave challenge, creativity, and connection, this course blends classic logic puzzles with AI exploration. Using Nathan Levy’s Stories with Holes, each class encourages students to work together, rather than compete, to find solutions, cultivating intuitive thinking and cognitive flexibility in a fun, engaging format. Students will design their own AI prompts based on reading material, transforming riddles and story clues into interactive learning tools. These AI-generated extensions will deepen engagement, spark curiosity, and build future assignments. With a strong emphasis on teamwork and purposeful communication, students will leave the course more confident in both their critical thinking and their ability to guide meaningful academic inquiry. This class welcomes students at any middle school level.
