Summary from the Hill

Doing the first intro to AI in my Science for Presidents class.

1. 1 generated image = charge your phone from 0 to full
2. Google's data centers = 5 billion gallons of water. 7500 Olympic size pools.
3. All data centers = energy used by Japan.
4. Ai text response = 1/4 mile driven (gas)

Looking forward to learning more about cellular agriculture and regenerative medicine and working collaboratively with teachers on this project.

Don't forget that the applications for the Presidential Mentoring awards are due soon. This was one of the more difficult and rewarding things I have done.

I have posted my narrative here:

Let me know if helpful if you apply.

Delighted to be working with the fantastic team of Avneet Hira and Helen Zhang and the fantastic folks at the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance - MMSA and the South Alabama University on this $3M collaborative project on transdisciplinary STEM.

This is what happens when you enable youth and have them decide what a space should be and what should be important about a learning space.

3 Grant reports finished and version 2.0 of fenway done for charity. Busy day.
