What do you know and what do you not know?

It's going to take in the curriculum.

Okay, what am I trying to teach you?

It's also going to take into account your interest graph.

What do you care about?

And so all of a sudden you can sit and say, what is my knowledge graph of what I know and what my interest graph is?

Here's an example of an AI, a generated one, where people were doing AP World, and they were coming back from a Taylor Swift concert.

And they're like, I'm having trouble with the start of World War I. And you're like, okay, well, generate a lesson plan in terms of Taylor Swift.

And all of a sudden, you know, when I can't remember exactly, but when she was on the getting the award and they came up and took it and then there was all the controversy and there was a mediator.

And literally it just created a table of all the people who were involved, the Taylor Swift people and then the World War I with Archduke Franz Ferdinand and all that.

And literally, the kid's like, okay, I'm going to remember this forever.

Or for AP World History, our kids, our high school kids generated this, where they go into Sumo, which is an AI music generator.

And they literally, just like Hamilton, back to interest level and generating content.

Every kid coming into high school these days, because we don't teach history that much anymore in standard school.

And so if you transfer into Alpha, your knowledge of history is basically whatever is in a Hamilton song.

If it's there, they know it.

And if they don't, they don't.

Well, taking that theme even further, for every unit in AP history, the students generated a song to teach themselves the concepts.

And they were all just singing the songs, going down, having a great time.

And they made the material relevant to their interests, which massively aids engagement and retention.
