Guide · Getting started

Get set up before the week runs away

Ten quiet minutes here save an hour of login thrash on Day 1. Tick through this list, then open Day 1.

Checklist

You’re ready when…

If any step fails, ask a mentor before the opening session — don’t wait until your trio needs the tool.

01

An account that can reach the AI tools

Use the account your mentors told you to use (school or provided). Confirm you can sign in on this laptop.

02

Open each tool once

Full “when to use which” lives on the Tools page.

03

Theme Data Pack

Your trio will pick Environmental Science, History, or Math. Packs are handed out by mentors (or linked when ready) — don’t invent a random dataset if a pack is provided.

04

This guide bookmarked

Keep this site open all week. Progress checkboxes save on this browser only.

05

Know the win condition

You are building a Socratic Learning Companion — hints and questions, not an answer machine — plus an evidenced Project Card for Day 5.

Ready? Start Day 1

If a tool is blocked, tell a mentor first — then begin The Mirror.
