In this video we cover

​

  • The importance of starting research early, and how research skills will help students in specific subjects in the present, and for the future in areas of problem-solving.

  • How students can get started on researching a topic that they care about, and the goals and targets in which they can aim to display their project or work with others. 

  • How middle school and high school kids can use AI-based innovations to bring their creativity to life, create distinctive accomplishments for college applications, win science fairs and other competitions, become entrepreneurs, and more.
