Google launches Polar Peaks AI Quest on mapping the human brain
Original title: Our newest AI Quest: Mapping the human brain
Students ages 11 to 14 practice data cleaning, model testing, and oversight; teacher training for this quest follows next month.
Google Research and the Stanford Accelerator for Learning launched Polar Peaks on October 26, the third lesson in the AI Quests series. Students ages 11 to 14 role-play researchers mapping neurons to investigate a character’s memory loss, including data cleaning and model testing. The quest draws on Google’s connectomics work, including the fruit fly brain map. Teacher modules for the first two quests are in the Google AI Educator Series; the Polar Peaks module is due next month.
