About the Assignment
The Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and AI: A Journey of Success is a practical, hands-on assignment where students tackle real-world problems using AI tools. The goal is to enhance critical thinking and teamwork skills while familiarizing students with cutting-edge technology. Through structured activities, students will identify problems, design solutions, and present their findings—empowered by AI’s capabilities.

Key Features of the Challenge

  • Critical Thinking Development: Analyze complex problems and generate innovative solutions.
  • Collaboration: Foster teamwork through group activities and AI-facilitated interactions.
  • Real-World Application: Address current challenges in health, education, and other industries.

How It Works
