Explain 'prompt engineering' to a 12-year-old using a fun real-world example.
Imagine you have a super-smart robot butler. If you just say, 'Get me food,' he might bring you a raw onion! 🧅
**Prompt Engineering** is the art of being specific. It’s like saying: 'Please go to the kitchen, find a slice of bread, toast it until it's golden brown, and put a thin layer of peanut butter on it.' Now, the robot knows exactly what to do. You are the engineer, and the prompt is your perfect set of instructions!

Write a short (100-word) story about a child’s dream to become an astronaut.
Leo didn’t look at his ceiling; he looked through it. Every night, his bed became a cockpit, the hum of the air conditioner a rocket engine warming for ascent. While other kids clutched teddy bears, Leo clutched a worn star map. He knew the moon wasn't made of cheese—it was made of lonely dust and untapped potential. 'T-minus ten,' he’d whisper, eyes fixed on the silver glow outside. One day, the vacuum of space wouldn't be a dream; it would be his backyard. The stars weren't just lights; they were destinations.
