Class 8 — AI Investigator

Main goal: CODE WITH AI. Stop being only an AI user and start becoming a builder. Emphasis: AI + Critical Thinking. Learning outcomes — read and write basic Python (variables, conditions, loops, functions, lists and dictionaries); use AI to explain, debug and test code rather than copying it blindly; build and explain at least five small Python programs; apply structured problem-solving to break a task into steps before coding it. Skills learned: Python fundamentals, AI-assisted debugging, algorithmic thinking, code documentation.
