Memory Palace — Week 3 of the Spring Into AI Build Sprint

This week’s theme: interactive tutorials. I built a Memory Palace app — the ancient Method of Loci, powered by AI.

You pick a space, say what you want to remember, and the AI assigns each item to a spot with vivid associations. You explore the room, quiz yourself, and can use a 60-second challenge or copy a reminder for later practice.

Week 3 was learning that feels like play: vision for your room, text for associations, and a loop built so you learn by doing.

Field-note signal

This was the first Week 3 receipt: a fast move from theme announcement to a working learning-by-doing artifact. It also foreshadowed how much of the competition would become about turning AI from a content generator into a guided interaction layer.
