🤖 What Is a Real AI Project?

A real AI project is when you use AI to help turn an idea into something useful.

An AI project always has:

A clear problem or goal

A human idea and decision

AI assistance for support

A final output you can explain

AI does not lead the project — you do.

🌍 Examples of Simple AI Projects

Students can build projects like:

A study planner created with AI help

A short story improved with AI feedback

An AI-assisted poster or artwork

A community problem idea explained using AI

A learning guide or notes organized with AI

Projects don’t have to be big — they must be clear and honest.

⚖️ Rules for AI Project Building

Always remember:

✅ You must understand what you submit

✅ You must be able to explain your work

✅ AI helps — it does not replace thinking

🚫 No copy-and-paste projects

🚫 No claiming AI work as fully yours

Real learning happens when you build, not copy.
