My name is Inae Davidek. As of September 2023, I am a sophomore. I am half-Korean and half-American. I care a lot about my education, which powers my passion for discussing about AI in the classroom. My next challenge is to discuss how teachers can create a motivating and self-empowering environment for students using AI tools and bring awareness to this topic. I have been a past student presenter at NCCE 2023, Techfest, and several other virtual conferences.
