SolarBot

Ask a question and ask for a short explanation, a comparison or a story clearly marked as a story.

SOLARBOT MISSION · AGES 9+

How do you ask SolarBot a good question?

Ask one thing at a time and say if you want a very simple answer. SolarBot can make mistakes: never share personal information, and check important facts.

Mission path
It’s like…

SolarBot is like a very fast research buddy, but sometimes it needs a human to check its work.

3 ideas to remember

  1. 1

    You can ask: “Explain it as if I were 8 years old.”

  2. 2

    A made-up story must stay different from a scientific fact.

  3. 3

    Never give your full name, your address or your school.

Artificial intelligenceA program that can write an answer by learning from lots of examples.
CheckCompare a piece of information with a reliable source.
I want to go further

SolarBot is told to use short sentences and to say when it is unsure. But an AI does not understand the world the way a human does, and it can give an answer that sounds right but is wrong.

Your challenge

Ask a question, then ask SolarBot to sum up its answer in a single sentence.

5-minute mission

  1. Read the big question.
  2. Try one action or comparison.
  3. Tell someone one thing you discovered.
Earn your stamp

Answer two questions about the lesson to stamp your passport.

Question 1 of 2

Which information should you never give SolarBot?

Hello! I am SolarBot, your space companion.

Ask one question at a time and I will explain it with simple words. I can sometimes be wrong: check important facts, and never share your full name, your address or your school.
now

Never share your full name, your address or your school. SolarBot can be wrong: check important information with the science sources offered on the site.
