Every educator wants their students to follow their curiosity, wrestle with ideas, and see themselves as future scientists, historians, engineers, or leaders. But when students are struggling with motivation—and AI makes it easier than ever to sidestep the hard work of learning—how do we inspire them to dig deeper?
