Ben reviewed one of two science tech articles which I hoped would connect directly to his interests. The first of the two articles was an NVIDIA article which tied computers, graphics, and science innovation together, and a designs trends article which I believe will speak to his interest in graphic art and logo design. As we discussed the first article, Ben added that the science tech company, NVIDIA makes up about 12% of every stock in the world" Ben has a wealth of knowledge across different disciplines and often contributes to discussions in meaningful and relevant ways. He went on to explain the reasons he does not like AI, using video clips and describing the nuances one should look for to distinguish between the two. I praised Ben's expertly delivered explanation and use of understandable/relatable vocabulary and suggested he consider delivering it to an audience - perhaps to his peers. Ben is giving due consideration to allow me to me make an audio tape of his explanation and critique of AI. This is a huge win, as he tends to shy away from public demonstrations and praise. Of late, Ben has been more open and agreeable to options, and I have been encouraging these considerations. We will review the other article in tomorrow's class. I chose the two articles to review as both are very current (2026) and written at an accessible but intellectually challenging level for a college-bound Stem student. Ben is tasked with responding to comprehension and critical thinking queries after reviewing the tests to asses his understanding and synthesis of the material.
