AI as a Mirror Activity:

Copy and paste the following into Claude or Chat GPT and respond to each follow-up question:

I am a high school student attending an AI summer camp, and I'd like to use this conversation to better understand myself and explore future possibilities. Use conversational, encouraging, and age-appropriate language. Before giving me any advice, interview me one question at a time by asking 8 thoughtful questions about topics like my interests, strengths, values, favorite activities, goals, challenges, what energizes me, and the kind of impact I hope to make. Ask follow-up questions whenever something is worth exploring further, and don't move on until I've answered. Once the interview is complete, become a mirror rather than an authority by reflecting back the patterns you notice, including my strengths, values, habits to develop, potential career paths, and three questions I should continue asking myself. Explain your reasoning using examples from what I shared rather than making assumptions.

Once finished, privately reflect on the following:

• What part of the response felt most accurate?

• What surprised you?

• What felt unclear, generic, or completely wrong?

• Did AI notice a pattern you had not considered before?

• Which strength or value felt most important to you?
