Brainstorming AI Solutions
We love brainstorming and prototyping at The Tech, so we are extra excited to announce our latest innovation: a “Teach with Me” Lesson.
- This lesson includes a pre-recorded facilitation of the activities from beginning to end, just think of us as your co-facilitators.
- Since we won’t really be there to hear students’ ideas, we’d love for you to share them back with us. On the lesson page, you’ll see a button for sharing student ideas and feedback on the lesson. Happy problem-solving!
