Inquiry and Essays
Based on science and liberal-arts research, academic papers, and patented inventions, this section presents an approach that brings together human insight (discovery) and AI-based construction (invention). It is an archive of “practice theory” for middle-school students through general readers, exploring the interactions among language, the brain/body, the environment, and AI through everyday actions and situations, practice, and communication. To apply “systems that cultivate self-agency and invite awareness” to innovation in learning, we are expanding the circle of learners, supporters, and researchers.
