One of my favorite projects from the past year has been helping this NYC public high school conceptualize a 10-week curriculum in selling their artistic works on Etsy.

We used AI to smash together a lot of different things at once (including online guides from Etsy's team, real examples of lesson plans, and training up teachers on custom GPTs) to create an AI-powered, work-based learning module for high school juniors and seniors.

It's so cool to see creativity + entrepreneurship intersect in this way in a traditional academic setting, and I hope to see a lot more experiments like this in the years ahead.
