Automation Arcade: Exploring Chemistry with AI
Become a chemist for a day! In this hands-on challenge, you’ll mix ingredients using an automated system that runs reactions with electricity instead of heat or flames. Watch the current rise as your reaction speeds up; the higher the current, the higher your score! Try to beat the computer as it learns from your choices and predicts new combinations. This fun, game-style experiment shows how scientists use automation and artificial intelligence to discover faster, cleaner, and smarter ways to make molecules.
