introduction of AI Quests, a collaborative, gamified learning experience developed by Google Research and the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, designed to address a gap in AI literacy education. This initiative shifts the focus from simply understanding how AI works to actively using it to solve real-world challenges in areas like climate and health, putting teens in the role of creators and decision makers rather than just consumers of technology. The program is built on principles of backwards design and learning sciences, employing pedagogical agents like mentors and subject matter experts, as well as characters the students can teach, to foster a deep and enduring understanding of complex AI concepts, including ethical awareness and the idea that AI augments human decisions.
