2024 Nobel Prizes: Pioneers of Modern AI
Big news in science: the 2024 Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physics have recognized the power of AI, with David Baker, Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper awarded for using AI to predict and design proteins, while John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton were honored for their foundational work with neural networks. These breakthroughs promise faster medicine development and a deeper understanding of AI's role in technology. At Logiscool, we are inspired by these achievements and are committed to teaching the next generation about the exciting world of science and AI.

For those passionate about game development, our Roblox Multiverse Camp lets kids build their own teleportation-based game, learning to design interactive worlds and script exciting challenges in Roblox Studio. Each camp blends creativity, digital skills, and hands-on learning, giving kids a chance to bring their ideas to life. Join the adventure and start creating today!
In January 2025, Meta Platforms announced the discontinuation of its third-party fact-checking program on Facebook and Instagram, opting instead for a user-driven "Community Notes" system similar to that of X (formerly Twitter). This shift has raised concerns among experts and users about the potential increase in misinformation and hate speech on these platforms. Critics argue that relying on user-generated content moderation may be less effective than professional fact-checking, potentially exacerbating the spread of false information. As online environments evolve, it becomes more important than ever to teach our children about fake news, hoaxes, safe internet use, and netiquette.
