ComEd Expands STEM Program to Include Boys, Doubling Participation in Electric Go-Kart Project

ComEd Expands STEM Program to Include Boys, Doubling Participation in Electric Go-Kart Project

ComEd has expanded its STEM program, originally designed to encourage teenage girls' interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, to include boys. This expansion has doubled the program's size and impact. The initiative involves 60 students, including eight from the south and southwest suburbs of Chicago, who are tasked with building and racing electric go-karts over a two-week period at Chicago's Fields Studio. Participants, aged 13 to 18, are divided into teams and will compete in a race on August 1. Each student will receive a $1,000 scholarship upon completion of the program. The program aims to provide practical knowledge and networking opportunities in a traditionally male-dominated field.

Professor Uses Hidden Text to Catch AI Cheating in Midterms

Professor Uses Hidden Text to Catch AI Cheating in Midterms

Jason Gibson, a history professor at Alcorn State University in Mississippi, devised a clever method to catch students using AI to cheat on their midterms. By embedding a hidden prompt in white font within the exam instructions, he instructed the AI to include nonsensical references to Madagascar. As a result, 32 out of 35 students in his classes failed a portion of their midterm for submitting AI-generated responses that included bizarre statements about Madagascar. Gibson's approach highlights the challenges educators face in maintaining academic integrity in the age of AI, as students increasingly rely on technology to complete assignments without proper oversight.
