What happened
Google Research and the Stanford Accelerator for Learning launched “Polar Peaks”, the third AI Quest for students aged 11 to 14. Students act as researchers and map neurons in the brain.
Why it matters
The quest shows how AI works and why people must check its results. Google says it draws on a decade of its connectomics research, the science of mapping brain networks. Teachers gain new training modules.
What to do
- Try the quest on the AI Quests site with students.
- Use the teacher modules for Quests 1 and 2.
- Watch for the Quest 3 teacher module next month.
