πŸ“– Item 1: Introducing AI Quests – Experiential AI Literacy for Every Classroom

Looking for a high-engagement, meaningful computing activity for Year 6 classes after SATs? Google has released AI Quests, a completely free, game-based learning platform engineered specifically for students aged 11–14.

What is AI Quests?

AI Quests guides students through a series of interactive, code-free problem-solving challenges. Instead of writing code lines, pupils evaluate what it takes to responsibly design, test, and apply artificial intelligence networks to solve real-world global and societal challenges.

Crucial features for school deployment:

  • Grounded in Reality: Every quest is built upon real-world computer science initiatives conducted by Google Research divisions.
  • 100% Data Safe: Crucially for setting compliance, no live AI is used within this sandbox game environment. The browser-based game does not harvest pupil metrics, store cookies, or require personal account registration details.
  • Teacher Frameworks: The platform currently features two active modules, with additional expansions arriving shortly. Each module comes standard with download-ready teacher lesson guides and answer rubrics.
