"Twenty Years at Hull House", written by Jane Addams, is a biographical account of her famed settlement house in Chicago’s west side slums. Addams, the second woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, described the activities at Hull House from 1889 to 1909. It was when Chicago had an influx of laborers from foreign countries and was in dire need of help in many spheres of life, including but not limited to from food, sanitation, better working conditions, and better wages. The book is a testament to Addams, who lived, breathed, and worked among these people, and devoted her life to them.

Blockchain technology serves as the foundation for Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency. Although cryptocurrencies are the most well-known use of blockchain technology, it also has potential applications in a wide range of other fields, including banking and financial services, supply chain management, and fashion industry.

Since everyone is chitchatting about ChatGPT since its release in November 2022, I want to describe its impact on schooling.
