AI-powered teaching tool to be introduced for DOE classrooms at upcoming showcase
The featured tool, Extra Intelligence, is built to assist teachers with lesson planning, real-time classroom engagement, and individual student support. It includes AI-driven features such as adaptive learning paths, performance insights, and automated content suggestions to help teachers meet diverse student needs more efficiently.
This initiative reflects an ongoing effort to integrate intelligent technologies into public education settings while maintaining a focus on teacher support and student equity. The tool has been developed with input from educators to ensure alignment with classroom realities and curriculum requirements.
The event, which will be streamed online, is open to school administrators, teachers, policymakers, and education professionals interested in the practical applications of AI in public education.

Trump's big boost to nuclear power, US launches pilot project to deploy 11 microreactors
In line with the agenda to expand nuclear power, the Trump administration has finalised 11 companies to build microreactors as part of a pilot programme. In line with US President Donald Trump's agenda of expanding nuclear power, the Department of Energy on Tuesday announced the finalisation of 11 projects for a pilot programme that would develop microreactors and small modular reactors. Trump signed four executive orders in May to accelerate the construction of these types of advanced nuclear reactors, primarily to address the increased power requirement of industries like data centres driving the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Advanced reactors —including microreactors, small modular reactors, and Generation IV and Generation III+ reactors— have revolutionary potential. They will open a range of new applications to support data centers, microchip manufacturing, petrochemical production, healthcare, desalination, hydrogen production, and other industries,' the executive order read. The DoE on Tuesday said that at least three of the eleven nuclear reactors part of the pilot programme will need to go critical July 2026 — a nuclear reactor going critical, in a layman's terms, means achieving demonstrable operationability. 'President Trump's Reactor Pilot Program is a call to action. These companies aim to all safely achieve criticality by Independence Day, and DOE will do everything we can to support their efforts,' said Deputy Energy Secretary James Danly. The 11 companies selected by the DoE are Aalo Atomics, Antares Nuclear, Atomic Alchemy, Deep Fission Inc, Last Energy, Oklo, Natura Resources LLC, Radiant Energy, Terrestrial Energy, and Valar Atomics. The DoE said that they will be responsible for all costs involved in the designing, manufacturing, constructing, and decommissioning their test reactors. Unlike regular nuclear power plants that take up a huge space and produce huge power, small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear fission reactors that generally produce a third of a regular reactor's power. They are made in factories like a regular product and can be installed at the site where power is needed, such as in an industrial facility or a defence installation, making that facility or installation self-sufficient in energy. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Currently, such reactors are in use in limited numbers in China and Russia. The United States now wants to install such reactors as well.

Here are 5 important ways to climb the ladder of success like a pro Additionally, Extra Intelligence will also aid teachers to create cheating-resistant tests that are conducted in the traditional pen-and-paper format, yet evaluated entirely through AI. Simply put, after students submit their handwritten responses, the system automatically evaluates every answer with precision, meaning it can help teachers grade students within minutes, and helping them focus on teaching and improving student learning outcomes. Extra Intelligence will also help teachers in schools across the world to deliver online classes, with real-time, AI-based engagement tracking built right in. Through AI, student responses, participation, questions asked, and even classroom disruptions or inactivity will be monitored, which will offer a holistic view of both student attentiveness and teaching effectiveness. Extra Intelligence also offers instant doubt resolution to students, whether it's on a particular question which the student has to attempt or while watching one of the thousands of academic videos hosted in the Extramarks digital library. Also read: Study finds impact of heat exposure on students' long-term learning, ability to handle complex tasks Students can interact with the AI Assistant while watching the video at any moment to clarify doubts. The AI also acts as a step by step guide when students are practicing complex problems. Notably, the global launch event of Extra Intelligece was held on July 28, 2025, in presence of educators, policymakers, and innovators from across regions.
