SQI Platform Update: Children Helping Science
Description
This update on the Children Helping Science platform will be given by BCS Research Scientist and Children Helping Science Executive Director Dr. Melissa Kline Struhl.
Children Helping Science allows families to contribute to scientific experiments from home, using games, storytelling and visual cues to gather data about how children grow and learn.

The MIT Siegel Family Quest for Intelligence (SQI) is a community of scientists, engineers, faculty, students, staff, and supporters that aim to understand intelligence – how brains produce it and how it can be replicated in artificial systems. Together, we approach intelligence as a single grand challenge requiring the organized, collaborative efforts of science, engineering, the humanities, and beyond. To achieve this vision, scientific theories of natural intelligence must be developed, computational models must be created, and these models must be compared against the capabilities and neural mechanisms of natural intelligence and tested on real-world problems.
