In this episode, educators and innovators explore how generative AI can transform classrooms into continuous experiments in growth. Drawing from the October 10, 2025 session Empowering Inquiry: AI and the Scientific Method in Practice, the discussion reveals how AI can support every stage of scientific inquiry—from background research and hypothesis formation to data analysis and communication.Adult educators Lizelena Iglesias, Vi Hawes, Dr. Jarek Janio, and Enrique Jauregui unpack how AI tools can boost problem-solving, data interpretation, and critical thinking while helping teachers model evidence-based teaching. The conversation reframes prompt engineering as a new literacy—an experimental skill that mirrors how scientists refine hypotheses.Yet, the panel also wrestles with a vital question: how do we preserve independent thought in the age of intelligent tools? Their answer—treat AI as a partner, not a crutch. Listeners will hear practical classroom strategies for balancing AI assistance with authentic student inquiry and learn how the scientific method can guide not only student learning but also teaching itself.
