Concept Blast
A clue appears and a field of asteroids drifts past — blast the rock that matches. A matching game about the precise vocabulary of AI, education, and civic life.
How to play
- Read the clue, then tap the asteroid that matches it.
- Wrong taps are free — only the right rock clears the field.
- Press 1–4 to blast by keyboard, or tap a rock.
- After six rocks, read what the field taught.
What it teaches
Vocabulary is the bottleneck in almost every argument about automated systems. You cannot object to a threshold, a proxy, or a label until you can name it. Matching a term to its exact meaning — against three plausible near-misses — builds the care that summaries never do.
For educators
Works as a five-minute warm-up. Ask students to write their own definition for one of the day's terms before revealing the closing note.
