STARKVILLE, Miss.—For the second year, Mississippi State is offering a highly interactive summer experience for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, possibly the only camp of its kind in the U.S.

I'll admit it, I'm a math guy. And recently, I've tried to express the emerging power of large language models (LLMs) in many aspects of life—including education. And it got me thinking: What if ...

Even scientists and educators who have an abiding love of physics acknowledge that much of society at large doesn’t share their affection. The study of force and motion has long been regarded as the ...
