Additional Notes
Create your Carousel Stations Timer with AI
Fill in the form to build your AI prompt for a complete carousel stations timer.
🔄
Protect student privacy. Use initials (EJ, LS), IDs (S001, S002), or numbers (Student 1, Student 2) instead of full names. Or pick "Editable Name Fields" mode so the AI builds the system with empty boxes you can fill in privately on your computer.
✓
You don't have to fill everything out — Fill in as much or as little as you like. Set the phases, durations, and alerts. The more detail you add, the more polished your timer.
