The physics projects anddata collected are different for different age groups, so girls can go through the program inmultiple, consecutive years and never repeat an activity.On the ropes course, students collect altitude and acceleration data by wearing a VernierWireless Data Sensor System (WDSS, shown in Figure 1) as they swing from a giant pendulum(called the Giant Swing) and climb rope ladders. Students are also digitally videotaped and thisvideo is uploaded along with the Vernier data to

This is especially true for green roofs withplants that need deeper soil and more water than other plant types. This additional structure willincrease the material needed to construct the building and affect the carbon footprint of thebuilding, specifically the embodied carbon. Embodied carbon is derived from the construction ofthe building, transportation and manufacturing of materials, and the installation of products inthe building. It is a calculated value that is used to understand the total carbon emission outputthat it takes to make a new construction happen. It is

However, knowledge of understanding/summarizing home or project promptsreceived the most responses. This result suggests that project or assignment prompts might bepoorly written or overly verbose to the point that students struggle to even understand them.Additionally, considering this usage of GenAI tools does not register as one that might breakacademic integrity rules, students could be the most aware of it because they either understandthemselves or have been told by an instructor that this is an accepted way to use Gen AI forschool.We then asked users if they used
