AI Use Disclosure

This website (teamnjord.us) was created by Team Njord to present Team Njord's aluminum welding capstone for WELD 231 (Spring 2026) at Everett Community College (EvCC). In the interest of transparency, this page explains how artificial intelligence (AI) was used in building it.

How AI was used

The site’s code and technical setup were built with the help of an AI coding assistant (Anthropic’s Claude, via Claude Code). This included scaffolding the Astro project, configuring the Cloudflare Workers deployment, and helping write and organize the site’s structure and code. Every AI-assisted change was directed, reviewed, and approved by members of Team Njord.

The welding project is Team Njord's own work

The welding designs, fabrication, and project work shown on this site are the original work of the Team Njord students. AI was used only as a tool to build the website that presents that work. It did not design, perform, or fabricate any of the welding.

Why Team Njord discloses this

EvCC’s student conduct code defines plagiarism as presenting another person’s, entity’s, or source’s ideas, words, or works in a course without assigning proper credit, and the college leaves the specific rules for AI use to each individual instructor. Disclosing the use of AI keeps the project honest and transparent, and makes clear that Team Njord is not presenting AI-assisted work as entirely its own.
