Deep Mind also did a paper with grid cells a while ago: https://deepmind.google/blog/navigating-with-grid-like-repre...
There are actually a lot of people trying to figure out spatial intelligence, but those groups are usually in neuroscience or computational neuroscience. Here is a summary paper I wrote discussing how the entorhinal cortex, grid cells, and coordinate transformation may be the key: https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.12068 All animals are able to transform coordinates in real time to navigate their world and humans have the most coordinate representations of any known living animal. I believe human level intelligence is knowing when and how to transform these coordinate systems to extract useful information. I wrote this before the huge LLM explosion and I still personally believe it is the path forward.

Concrete analogies (“volcanoes are like shaken soda bottles”) and kitchen-table experiments you can actually do
Distark is hiring, an edutainment brand building learning videos for Education. Our small, passionate team creates animated shows and learning tools that help kids (ages 3-9) fall in love with curiosity and real-world learning. We use custom automation to speed up everything from story writing to animation.

The way I think about this tool is that it is way to spark and test our curiosity. Is the child really interested in space or just randomly asking questions. Tools like this can help you as parent determine this faster.
For family tools like these I would want parents to know everything the child is asking about.
Please let me know if you have other feedback!
I made A deep research assistant for families. Children can ask questions to explain difficult concepts and for parents to ask how to deal with any parenting situation. For example a 4 year old may ask “why does the plate break when it falls?”

I wish there were better ways to monetize it.
