+
+This is the most critical stage for your development. You are building the fundamental understanding of programming logic, problem-solving, and computational thinking that everything else depends on.
+
+**_Using AI to generate code at this stage undermines this foundation._**
+
+#### AI IS appropriate for:
+
+- Asking "what does this concept mean?" questions (e.g. "explain what a loop does")
+- Getting alternative explanations when documentation is unclear
+- Asking AI to explain why a piece of code you have already written works the way it does
+- Exploring "what happens if I change this?" questions.
+- Understanding error messages you have encountered yourself
+
+#### AI is NOT appropriate for:
+
+- Generating solutions to assignments
+- Debugging code you have not tried to debug yourself first
+- Writing any code you could not reproduce and explain yourself
+- Answering written reflection questions or self-assessments
+
+_**The test:** If you deleted your solution and had to recreate it on your own from scratch, without AI, could you?_
+
+If not, you have not learned it yet, regardless of whether the code works. Good learning means your skills grow each time you use AI, not become more dependent on it.
+
+#### Prompting for understanding, not answers
+
+When you do use AI at this stage, frame your questions to push your own thinking:
+
+- Not appropriate: “Write me a function that finds the largest number in an array”
+
+- Appropriate: “I wrote this function [paste your code]. Can you explain what each line does and tell me if there is anything I might be missing?”
+- Appropriate: “My code gives this error [paste error]. Can you explain what this type of error means so I can work out how to fix it?”
+
+#### Building understanding that lasts:
+
+Remember: You shouldn't have to ask AI the same thing twice. If you find yourself asking similar questions repeatedly, that's a sign you're using AI to do the work rather than to learn.
+
+- ❌ Today: 'Write a function to find the largest number in an array'
+
+  Tomorrow: 'Write a function to find the smallest number in an array'
+  (You've learned nothing - you'll need AI every time)
+
+Whereas in the following scenario, actual learning is demonstrated.
+
+- ✅ Today: 'I'm trying to find the largest number in an array. Can you explain the approach without writing code?'
+
+  Tomorrow: You write the function yourself to find the smallest number because you understood the approach.
+
+{{<multiple-choice

+  feedback="No, this uses AI to do the logic for us - so we don't learn how to problem solve. | No! This is unacceptable because where AI is used to generate an answer for us, instead of helping support our understanding. | Yes, that is a good question explore the code deeper to help your understanding grow!"
