In Part 4 of the Ag-STEM Career Discovery Lab series, Dr. Renée Jordan explores one of the most important concepts in AI literacy and prompt engineering:

Why do some prompts produce more useful responses than others?

Listeners compare a simple prompt with a more detailed prompt and discover how context, interests, goals, and purpose help Janiyah GPT provide more personalized career suggestions.

The episode also introduces Step 4 of the Ag-STEM Career Discovery Lab: Investigate Further.
