How Dallas-Fort Worth Has Become a Hotbed of Artificial Intelligence Technology
by Glenn Hunter | Feb 16, 2023

![My second year (in teaching high school English), things began looking up. I cracked the code and figured out how to motivate students. I had lessons I could improve upon. And I started getting curious — what could the sciences teach me about how we learn?
