To encourage them to express more, we use a storytelling session instead of the traditional Q&A session to learn about participants’ background experiences with AI/ML and their attitude/perspective of teaching AI/ML.

This procedure is not as overly conservative as the Bonferronicorrection and is generally preferred when there is a large number of comparisons being made[33]. The Benjamini–Hochberg procedure involves ordering the p-values from the testsperformed, starting with the smallest value up to the largest. We index them starting at i=1 up tothe number of p-values (or equivalently, the number of tests performed, m). For each p-value, wecalculate the quantity: Q(i)=iα/m. Then, we find the largest p
