These inventions weren’t built in laboratories or classrooms. They started with simple observations, small frustrations, and curiosity. Using basic materials, these kids created devices that solve ...

We present a way to combine techniques from the program synthesis and machine learning communities to extract structured information from heterogeneous data. Such problems arise in several situations ...

For elementary students, math problem-solving often feels like a puzzle without all the pieces. They know there’s a solution somewhere, but they can’t quite see how it all fits together. Behind every ...

In 1945, as the first atomic bomb exploded in the New Mexico desert, Enrico Fermi stood miles away, holding a few scraps of paper. As the shockwave rolled toward him, he dropped the papers and watched ...
