AI this week

Kōkako, your AI mentor: Asks you one question at a time, such as “If you measured again tomorrow, would you expect the same number?”. It never tells you the answer or whether you are right. You: Decide what the readings mean. The diagnosis is yours.

This week includes a Thinking check: a short task you do on your own, so you and your teacher can see how your thinking is growing. It is not marked.
