Spark - Week 1 Missions
Welcome to Week One of the IMPACT AI Lab. This is where the journey begins, and the first spark of your creativity, knowledge, and vision will take shape. To start, we’ve set three missions (and a bonus) that blend play, practice, and problem-solving. Each challenge has points attached, submit as many you can to maximize your Leaderboard points. The goal is to push your imagination and build momentum. Upload your submissions below:
Mission One: The NanoBanana Remix — 10 points

Are you a biologist who becomes a living molecule, an economist turned data wave, or an artist reshaped as a surreal symbol? Be bold and let the AI transform you into a reflection of your discipline. You are awarded points based on your creativity and the visual story you tell.
