What happened
Google Research and the Stanford Accelerator for Learning launched "Polar Peaks," the third quest in the AI Quests series. Students ages 11 to 14 work as researchers, scanning and mapping neurons in the brain with help from in-game mentors.
Why it matters
The quest shows how AI helps scientists study the brain and speed up research, and why people must check its work. Teachers get new training modules to bring these lessons into class.
What to do
- Try the Quest #1 and #2 teacher modules first.
- Watch for the Quest #3 training module, due next month.
